Ballard Experience
Since 1992, Ballard Power Systems has developed and demonstrated ve generations of heavy duty fuel cell modules for bus applications. Demonstration programs and field trials have been held in the US, Canada, Western Europe, Iceland, Australia and China. Ballard powered buses have accumulated more than 200,000 hours of operation, covering more than three million kilometers and transporting more than seven million passengers.
6th Generation Module
Based on the state of the art automotive fuel cell stack, Ballard’s FCvelocity-HD6 fuel cell module oers a design ideal for integration into bus applications.
With the next generation Ballard® fuel cell at its core, the FCvelocity-HD6 establishes a new standard for cost, through design for volume manufacturing, and compatibility with customer system requirements. The heavy duty powermodule features a control unit that can interface with a system controller, making it a plug and play application for any fuel cell or hybrid fuel cell bus platform.
This next generation module also others signicant advances in durability, power density and fuel efficiency.
