About
Founded in 2002, Metalectrique is a private headquartered in Plymouth, United Kingdom specializing in Hydrogen.
Metalectrique, operating as MAL Research and Development Limited since relocating to the UK from France, specializes in proprietary aluminium-air fuel cell technology. The company develops zero-CO₂ power systems for electric vehicles, ships, and aircraft through a chemical reaction between aluminium metal and a specialized electrolyte. Unlike rechargeable batteries, Metalectrique's technology generates electricity independently and can provide 1,500-mile range with 90-second refueling cycles. The company offers tiered commercial services: Level A exploratory research, Level B prototype development, and Level C manufacturing/licensing for vehicle manufacturers. All aluminium is recycled into aluminium hydroxide, creating a fully circular ecosystem. Products include custom power units for vehicle manufacturers and Re-Can, a consumer-facing desk toy demonstrating the technology by powering a small fan.
