Ballard Power Systems (NASDAQ: BLDP; TSX: BLDP) will showcase its latest generation FCmovetm hydrogen fuel cell modules for zero-emission public transport at the UITP Global Transport Summit in Barcelona, from 4-7 June 2023. Ballard is exhibiting in hall 6, stand B152.
Designed to address the specific power and performance requirements of public and heavy-duty transport, Ballard's FCmovetm range is the longest serving fuel cell solution available. Hydrogen fuel cell powered buses have been operating in revenue service since the mid-2000s and Ballard-powered buses and trucks have now operated over 150 million km globally.
"Fuel cell electric buses are fast gaining momentum as a zero-emission solution in fleets where longer range, short fuelling time and high power requirements are a priority," said Nicolas Pocard, Vice President of Marketing & Strategic Partnerships, Ballard Power Systems. "We're encouraged by the growth in volume deployments and demand for hydrogen-power for public fleets - both buses and trains - proving that the next stop for zero-emission public transport is hydrogen power."
Powering the fast-growing number of zero-emission bus fleets in Europe, North America and China, Ballard's proven FCmove™ product range incorporates fuel cell modules with a power range from 45kW - 120 kW. Designed for the specific requirements of transit buses, Ballard's 70kW FCmove™-HD and 100kW FCmove™-HD+ are available in rooftop and engine bay configurations for the maximum level of integration flexibility.
On display at Ballard's stand at UITP 2023 are:
"The FCmove™ fuel cell range is designed for applications where reliability, durability and uncompromised performance are the key factors for a public transport operator's total cost of ownership," concludes Nicolas Pocard. "Our learnings from real-word experience enables us to deliver technology to meet zero-emission targets without disrupting existing operations, including range and performance, and our customer care team provides support to ensure successful implementation and operation during product lifetime."
