Ballard Power Systems wins fuel cell contact for British Columbia hydrogen bus fleet

We heard a few months back that British Columbia was to get a fleet of new hydrogen busses, which is hoped to be in service in time for the 2010 winter Olympics which is hosted in Vancouver. Ballard Power Systems have won the contract to supply the fuel cells for the hydrogen bus fleet.

Ballard will have the first test unit ready in 2008, and will have the rest of the fuel cells ready by 2009, as we said just in time for the 2010 Winter Olympics. Once the games have come to an end, the new hydrogen bus fleet will become part of the standard British Columbia fleet. Ballard Power Systems will work in conjunction with New Flyer industries who build the busses, and ISE electric drive systems.
