Ballard Power Systems has announced orders for 70 hydrogen fuel cell bus engines to be delivered to Wrightbus in 2024.
The FCmove-HD hydrogen fuel cell engines have been ordered through multiple purchase orders.
They will be used in single- and double-decker Wrightbus vehicles being manufactured for customers across the UK and Germany.
Oben Uluc, Vice President, Sales & Marketing, EMEA said: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. “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.
The fuel cell engines are scheduled for delivery in 2024, prior to the buses entering service in 2025.
