en.Wedoany.com Reported - Canada's Ballard Power Systems announced that Europe's leading bus manufacturer and its long-term partner, Solaris Bus & Coach sp. z o.o., has selected Ballard as the fuel cell supplier for its next-generation hydrogen fuel buses. Under this collaboration, Ballard will launch the FCmove®‑SC hydrogen fuel cell engine by the end of 2025 and integrate it into Solaris's second-generation FCEV buses. Related engine sales have been incorporated into the updated terms of an existing long-term service agreement, which has been extended to 2029 to align with the delivery of the next-generation buses, while also harmonizing commercial terms.

The FCmove®‑SC engine features higher efficiency, longer durability, and a simplified system architecture, which can reduce the total cost of ownership for transit operators, offering significant advantages in long-distance, high-utilization operational scenarios. Ballard's Chief Executive Officer and President, Marty Neese, stated that this collaboration marks a significant milestone in the development of the FCmove®‑SC engine, and that the long-term partnership with Solaris is built on trust, technological excellence, and a shared commitment to zero-emission mobility. Today, Ballard's fleet of hydrogen fuel buses has grown to over 2,200 vehicles globally, accumulating more than 300 million kilometers of travel, with a 98% availability rate and no reported safety incidents. Ballard also unlocks additional value through fleet services, strengthening fleet performance and supporting long-term operational success.
