The Northern Irish bus manufacturer Wrightbus has commissioned the Canadian fuel cell specialist Ballard Power Systems to supply a total of 70 fuel cell modules. These are also to be used in buses in Germany.

According to Ballard Power Systems, the FCmove-HD systems will already be delivered to Wrightbus this year. The buses with the fuel cells will then be put into operation next year. The hydrogen fuel cell drives will power single and double-decker buses in the UK and Germany. In Germany, Saarbahn recently ordered 28 hydrogen buses from Wrightbus.
