Ballard to supply New Flyer Industries with power module for U.S. fuel cell bus

Vancouver, Canada

The module will be utilized in a next generation New Flyer Industries fuel cell bus that will be sent to Altoona, Pennsylvania for testing and qualification prior to being deployed into revenue service under the U.S. Federal Transit Administration (FTA) National Fuel Cell Bus Program. The project will be administered by CALSTART, a member-supported organization dedicated to clean transportation alternatives.

New Flyer Industries is the leading manufacturer of heavy-duty transit buses in North America and the industry technology leader offering the broadest product line, including drive systems powered by fuel cells, clean diesel, natural gas and electric trolley as well as energy-efficient diesel-electric hybrid vehicles.
