Leclanché to Provide Advanced Battery Technology for Canadian Pacific's Hydrogen-powered Locomotive Project 
- Leclanche to supply its proprietary lithium-ion batteries and energy management software to be integrated with the 
fuel cell modules 
- The breakthrough project is an entry into the freight-rail market that includes more than 45,000 diesel locomotives 
in North America and G5 European countries 
- Testing will take place along Canadian Pacific's rail network in Canada 
 
YVERDON-LES-BAINS, Switzerland and ANDERSON, Indiana, 11 May 2021 - Leclanché SA (SIX: LECN) will provide its 
proprietary battery technology to Canadian Pacific (TSX: CP) (NYSE: CP) for its innovative Hydrogen Locomotive Program. 
The CP hydrogen-powered locomotive pioneering project, first announced in December 2020, will retrofit a line-haul 
diesel freight locomotive with hydrogen fuel cells and Leclanché's European manufactured lithium-ion batteries to power 
the locomotive's electric traction motors. Leclanché will also provide its proprietary energy management software for 
optimum integration. The project is designed to evaluate the combined technologies' readiness for the freight rail 
sector. Once the locomotive is operational, CP will conduct rail service trials and qualification testing. CP operates 
a 21,000-km (13,000-mile) rail network across Canada and the U.S. that serves deep-water ports on the Atlantic and 
Pacific Oceans. 
The market for freight rail is large and growing across the world. In 2018, year-over-year, Canada's freight rail 
sector's workload, measured by gross ton-miles, increased by 6.2%, and increased 10.1% compared with the five-year 
average. The distance travelled by Canada's freight trains, measured by freight train-miles, increased by 5.4% to 68.6 
million in 2018 versus 2017. 
"Leclanché is pleased to have been chosen by Canadian Pacific for inclusion in its hydrogen locomotive, zero emission 
freight train program," said Anil Srivastava, CEO, Leclanché. "This project further expands our addressable market to 
include electrification of the freight rail sector representing a major global opportunity for the reduction of 
greenhouse gases." 
"Our battery systems and energy management software solution significantly increase the total energy efficiency 
compared to standalone fuel cell modules, reducing the total cost of ownership. In addition to North America, we are 
currently looking at the freight train market in Europe, Australia, Brazil and South Africa - all of which are ideally 
suited for the transformation of their current diesel stock," said Srivastava. 
Leclanché's eTransport Solutions business serves the needs of the medium and heavy transportation industry through the 
supply of a broad range of solutions based on 100% inhouse technologies from lithium cells, battery modules, battery 
management system and battery packs to energy management software. Leclanché has delivered/commissioned more than 430 
high-capacity marine racks and commercial vehicle battery packs to customers since the start of commercial operations 
in 2019. These customers include global original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) in the passenger rail, maritime, bus, 
truck and specialized vehicles sectors.
