TECO 2030: long-term trouble

In September, TECO 2030 announced a strategic reorganization of its business. In particular, the initial plan to manufacture its own fuel cell systems was discarded, and the company shifted focus to licensing its proprietary technologies. The company viewed this licensing model as a way to unlock international growth opportunities.

Also, despite the main focus of the Norwegian company was on the maritime sector, TECO 2030 developed some concrete projects also for road transport.
