Ballard Launches FCmove-SC Fuel Cell Module for Urban Bus Transport.

Ballard Power Systems is set to launch its new FCmove-SC fuel cell module at Busworld in Brussels. Designed for urban public transportation, the FCmove-SC offers improved sustained power, simplified vehicle integration, better service performance, and a lower lifecycle cost as part of Ballard's roadmap to diesel parity. The module is part of Ballard's FCmove family, a leader in the market.

Ballard Power Systems (NASDAQ: BLDP) is set to debut its latest innovation in fuel cell technology, the FCmove-SC, at Busworld in Brussels this October. The new module, designed for urban public transportation, is part of Ballard's FCmove family, a market leader in fuel cell solutions. The FCmove-SC aims to deliver enhanced performance, simplified integration, and lower lifecycle costs, aligning with Ballard's goal of achieving diesel parity.

The FCmove-SC offers several key improvements over its predecessors. It boasts a 30% increase in system power at end-of-life, improved durability, and higher power density. Additionally, the module features a 25% increase in volumetric power density through integrated DC/DC packaging, which simplifies vehicle integration and reduces maintenance requirements. Ballard's intelligent services, including predictive maintenance and analytics, further enhance the FCmove-SC's operational efficiency.

The new module incorporates passive safety measures to mitigate hydrogen-related risks, reducing the need for conventional active safety features. Ballard's extensive on-road experience, with over 850 vehicles deployed in Europe, has informed the design and architecture of the FCmove-SC, ensuring a lower total cost of ownership for transit operators.
