 Ballard Power Systems Inc., a US Nasdaq stock exchange sweetheart, has announced the planned deployment of 500 licensed fuel-cell electric commercial trucks in Shanghai, purportedly the largest of its kind in the world.

Sales Boost for Large Deployment of Chinese Fuel-cell Trucks

Each of the 500 trucks from Dongfeng Special Vehicle Co. is licensed, plated and powered by a 30-kilowatt fuel-cell engine that was designed and integrated by Shanghai Reinventing Fire Technology Co., featuring Ballard FCvelocity-9SSL proton exchange membrane fuel-cell stacks, according to the Vancouver, British Columbia-based company.

Each box Van Truck measures 21 feet, can carry a load of 3.2 tons and has an expected range of more than 205 miles. The trucks will be operated by Shanghai Sinotran New Energy Automobile Operation Co., a newly established fuel-cell electric vehicle operator, and are expected to be used primarily for intra-city deliveries.

“We are pleased to be collaborating with Re-Fire as we drive market adoption of fuel cell electric vehicles (or FCEVs) incorporating Ballard fuel cell technology. We believe this is the largest planned deployment of fuel cell-powered trucks anywhere in the world,” Ballard CEO Randy MacEwen said in a statement.

Ballard noted China is forecast to account for 42% of global production of medium- and heavy-duty trucks in 2020, or about 1.1 million units, according to LMC Automotive.

Ballard also supplied the fuel cell for Kenworth Truck Co.’s hydrogen-electric Class 8 bound for a field test at the ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach in March. The battery capacity for that truck is 100 kW-h.
