With over 2 million kilometers (or in excess of 1.2 million miles) and 7 million passengers in actual transit bus revenue service, Ballard’s fuel cell technology is the smart solution for transit operators focused on making their bus fleets cleaner and more efficient.
Fuel cell buses are zero-emission vehicles, with no greenhouse gases, particulates or harmful emissions released during operation.
Consistent with increased government interest in supporting alternative transit demonstration projects, Ballard actively works with electric drive integrators and bus OEMs as the leading provider of fuel cell modules for mass transit buses. This pairing of Ballard’s world-class fuel cell technology with hybrid bus designs has improved vehicle performance, lowered costs and increased durability, providing a line-of-sight to commercialization of the fuel cell hybrid bus.
Ballard has developed our sixth generation fuel cell module for the bus market, incorporating our most advanced fuel cell technology to date. To learn more about the FCvelocity-HD6 heavy-duty fuel cell module, click here .
This technology is powering fuel cell buses operated by BC Transit during the 2010 Olympics and Paralympic Winter Games. The BC Transit fleet of 20 buses is the largest fleet of fuel cell buses in the world. For more information regarding this project, and others, click here.
