Ballard gets contract to supply fuel cells for British Columbia bus fleet

Posted by admin  Published in Hydrogen

A couple of months ago we reported on plans to have a fleet of fuel cell buses in British Columbia including twenty of them in the ski town of Whistler. The buses will be in operation by 2009 in advance of the 2010 Winter Olympics which are being hosted in Vancouver (with the skiing events taking place at Whistler).

Fuel cell supplier Ballard ability Systems has now been chosen to supply the fuel cells for the twenty buses for Whistler with the first tryout unit being delivered in

2008 and the rest following during 2009. After the games, the buses will become part of the standard BC transit fleet. The Ballard fuel cell systems will be integrated into buses built by New Flyer industries along with ISE electric drive systems. by the past decade, fuel cell buses using Ballard stacks have accumulated by 1.1 million miles.
