Shares of Hydrogen Power company AFC Energy (LON: AFC) rallied after the company announced a non-binding Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Altaaqa Alternative Solutions Company Limited.
The MoU with Altaaqa, a wholly-owned member of the Zahid Group, intends to establish an exclusive dealership for the distribution of the AFC’s fuel cell systems in Saudi Arabia and the Middle East & North Africa regions via a strategic partnership.
Altaaqa owns and operates one of the world’s largest rental fleets of mobile diesel power modules, with 2GW of capacity within its portfolio, aiming to complement its conventional diesel power modules offering sustainable, zero-emission alternatives for the Saudi Arabian and MENA region.
