Ballard technology to power 20 hydrogen buses set for South Holland

Ballard technology will power 20 new hydrogen buses ordered by public transport operate Connexxion for deployment in South Holland.

A branch of the Transdev Netherlands group, Connexxion has ordered 20 Solaris Urbino 12 hydrogen buses from Solaris Bus & Coach in a bid to ensure cleaner air in the province.

Ballard has received an order from Solaris for 20 of its new 70kW heavy-duty FCmove™-HD fuel cell modules to power the buses under the Joint Initiative for Hydrogen Vehicles Across Europe (JIVE 2) funding programme.
