Ballard gets contract to supply fuel cells to Daimler

Filed under: Hydrogen, Daimler

Ballard Power Systems has announced that it has received a $24 million contract from Daimler to supply its FCvelocity fuel cell systems. At the beginning of 2008, Ballard sold off its automotive fuel cell assets to Daimler and Ford but retained its commercial business for heavy duty and stationary applications. The FCvelocity systems are designed for applications like trucks and buses.

Daimler recently unveiled its latest-generation Citaro FuelCell hybrid bus, which uses the fuel cell in a series hybrid configuration. The first thirty of these buses are due to go in service in 2010. Ballard will start deliveries in April 2010.
