Ballard Power Systems (BLDP) said Wednesday that Solaris Bus & Coach has selected Ballard as the fuel cell supplier for the European bus manufacturer's next-generation hydrogen bus.
The deal will see Ballard's FCmove-SC engine integrated into Solaris' Generation 2 fuel cell electric vehicle (FCEV) bus, Ballard said.
The companies also updated their long-term supply agreement, extending it through 2029, Ballard said.
Ballard said the FCmove-SC platform offers higher efficiency and durability. It is also designed to lower the total cost of ownership for transit operators, especially on long routes, the company added.
