Ballard Power Systems has announced a new commercial agreement with New Flyer that will see the former provide the latter with 500 FCmove®-HD+ fuel cell engines.
Totalling 50 MW; the order represents the single largest commitment from New Flyer since the two companies’ partnership first began.
Deliveries, which are set to commence in 2026, will provide power for New Flyer’s Xcelsior CHARGE FC™ hydrogen fuel cell buses across North America.
Oben Uluc, Ballard’s Sales & Marketing Vice President, said:We are proud that New Flyer continues to place their trust in Ballard as their long‑term technology partner, building on a relationship that spans more than a decade. Our fuel cell engines, backed by additional fleet services, deliver the range, rapid refueling, and reliable performance New Flyer’s fleets require.
With Ballard technology at the core of these vehicles, New Flyer is well positioned to accelerate zero‑emission deployments across North America.
David White, Executive Vice President, Supply Management, New Flyer, said:This agreement is the next step in our long-standing partnership with Ballard and a key component in advancing our leading fuel cell bus offerings.
Over the last decade we’ve delivered buses powered by Ballard in multiple jurisdictions from coast to coast showing their capability to operate in different environments and routes as a 1-for-1 diesel replacement. With growing demand for fuel cell buses, we are excited to continue this partnership as we support the transition to zero-emission transportation.
