Ballard Experience
Since 1992, Ballard Power Systems has
developed and demonstrated five generations
of heavy duty fuel cell modules for bus
applications. Demonstration programs and field
trials have been held in the US, Canada, Western
Europe, Iceland, Australia and China. Ballard
powered buses have accumulated more than
200,000 hours of operation, covering more than
three million kilometers and transporting more
than seven million passengers.
