Ballard Power Systems has announced that Wrightbus has formally nominated Ballard as fuel cell supplier for its next‑generation StreetDeck Hydroliner Gen 3.0 hydrogen bus platform.
The nomination covers the integration of Ballard’s FCmove®‑SC hydrogen fuel cell engine – its latest high-efficiency platform launched in late 2025 – into Wrightbus’ Gen 3.0 double-decker FCEV bus.
With series production scheduled to begin in 2027; Ballard’s FCmove®‑SC hydrogen fuel cell engine is intended to be utilised to provide higher efficiency, extended durability and a simplified system architecture designed to reduce total cost of ownership (TCO) for transit operators.
Oben UlucVice President, Sales & Marketing, Ballard, said:Wrightbus’ nomination of Ballard for the StreetDeck Hydroliner Gen 3.0 platform represents a major milestone for our next‑generation FCmove®‑SC engine.
This decision reflects our decades‑long collaboration and Wrightbus’ confidence in Ballard’s ability to deliver performance, reliability, and lifecycle economics at scale.
The FCmove®‑SC was made for the mature bus market, and OEM nominations like this validate the value proposition for customers.
