In December 2014, the first two buses powered by Ballard’s prototype FCvelocity-HD7 fuel cell power module were presented to Hamburger Hochbahn AG-transit operator for the City of Hamburg, Germany-and are now part of an operations trial. These product enhancements and efficient manufacturing process will reduce capital expense and operating costs, providing a more competitive total cost of ownership in comparison with alternative low-emission technologies. The module will also utilize fuel cell stacks manufactured through a high-volume, low-cost process. The next-generation FC-velocity-HD7 is scalable from 50 kW to 200 kW, and is expected to come initially in a 100 kW configuration the air compressor is integrated.

( Earlier post.) That same month Van Hool and four other major bus OEMs-Daimler Buses (EvoBus), MAN, Solaris Bus & Coach, and VDL Bus & Coach-signed a Letter of Understanding outlining their commitment toward the commercialization and deployment of fuel cell buses in European urban public transport, including their anticipation that around 500-to-1,000 fuel cell buses can be put into service in Europe during the 2017-20 period.įor these newly funded buses, Ballard will deliver its FCvelocity-HD7 product, a next-generation fuel cell power module offering improved durability and reliability together with significant cost reduction (Ballard estimates a 30-40% reduction.) Product enhancements include reduced parts count, fewer moving parts, integrated air compressor and coolant pump along with lower parasitic load.īallard’s current generation FCvelocity-HD6 comes in 75 kW and 150 kW configurations, utilizing either one or two Ballard 1100 series PEM fuel cell stacks respectively. In November 2014 Ballard and Van Hool jointly launched a dedicated European Service and Parts Centre for fuel cell buses-called ESPACE-to provide support for Ballard-powered Van Hool buses.
