Under the contract, Ballard will provide FCvelocity-HD6 power modules for ElDorado fuel cell hybrid buses featuring a series hybrid electric drive from lead integrator BAE Systems.
It is anticipated that these buses will be operational in 2013.
Ballard will collaborate with consortium partners BAE Systems and ElDorado National to deliver these buses to SunLine Transit Agency in Thousand Palms, California.
The TIGGER program works directly with public transportation agencies to implement new strategies for reducing greenhouse gas emissions and lowering energy use within transit operations.
Ballard’s fuel cell module incorporates sub-system components for humidification, hydrogen pressure regulation, hydrogen recirculation, water management, ventilation and controls.
