Ballard Power Systems has announced multiple purchase orders totalling 70 FCmove®-HD hydrogen fuel cell engines from its customer, Wrightbus, a UK-based bus manufacturer deploying hydrogen-powered buses in the UK and Europe. Ballard expects delivery of the fuel cell engines to occur in 2024, and the buses to enter into service in 2025. The hydrogen fuel cell engines will power single- and double-decker buses in the UK and Germany.

"We are pleased to strengthen our relationship with Wrightbus and support their deployment of an increasing volume of hydrogen-powered transit buses across the UK and Europe," said Oben Uluc, Vice President, Sales & Marketing, EMEA. "We are seeing broader market acceptance of fuel cell buses by European transit operators seeking to decarbonise their operations with a technology approach that enables long range, fast refuelling, and scalable refuelling infrastructure."
