H-55 and Elfly Group: partnership for the BRM Aero B23 Energic
A pioneering step in electric aviation
H-55, a global leader in electric propulsion technology, and Elfly Group, a trailblazer in zero-emission regional air travel and green mobility solutions with its no emissions all-electric seaplane, announced yesterday the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to introduce the BRM Aero B23 Energic, the first EASA CS-23 certified fully electric aircraft - to the Nordic market.
Under the MoU, Elfly Group will acquire three B23 Energic aircraft through the exclusive Founders’ Edition launch program, plus options for two additional aircraft. Delivery of the first three units is scheduled for 2026, catapulting the expansion of the B23 Energic across the Nordic region.
This landmark agreement also establishes a strategic collaboration among H55, BRM Aero, manufacturers of the B23 aircraft and Elfly Group. Under this partnership, Elfly Group will act as the distributor for the B23 Energic in Norway, Denmark, and Sweden.
The Nordic market entry for the B23 Energic will commence with a joint demonstration tour across Norway and other Nordic countries from early 2025. During this tour, the fully electric two-seater aircraft, which offers an endurance of 60 minutes, plus reserves—will showcased at leading flight schools and pilot training academies. Pilots will have the opportunity to test fly the aircraft, demonstrating its potential to revolutionize regional pilot training and air mobility.
The partnership unites three companies committed to advancing sustainable aviation innovation. The collaboration encompasses:
Introducing next level electric aviation in the Nordics, with the first certified CS-23 aircraft;
Marketing and sales activities to promote electric aviation solutions;
Maintenance training programs to support regional adoption and technical know-how;
Aircraft leasing options to enhance accessibility for flight schools and private users;
Providing Elfly Group with access to an experimental aircraft ahead of the certified units’ delivery.
The introduction of the BRISTELL B23 Energic in the Nordic region is both a technological milestone and a model for adopting clean aviation. By scaling infrastructure, proving the feasibility of zero-emission aircraft in real-world applications and inspiring the global adoption of sustainable practices, this partnership sets a powerful precedent for the future of aviation. With a focus on innovation, accessibility, and environmental stewardship, it addresses urgent industry challenges while paving the way for a quieter, greener, and more efficient global air transportation network.
