Ballard Unveils FCmove-SC Fuel Cell Module for City Transit Buses

Ballard Power Systems is unveiling its new-generation transit fuel cell module, the FCmove-SC, at Busworld in Brussels. The FCmove-SC offers improved sustained power, simplified vehicle integration, lower lifecycle cost, and enhanced safety features. It is designed to power city transit buses and aims to narrow the gap in cost of ownership parity with legacy diesel systems. The FCmove-SC has a peak power capability of at least 75 kW and is optimized for consistent in-service output and higher thermal margins for improved efficiency. It also features a 40% reduction in total part count and a 25% higher maximum radiator outlet temperature.
