Hexagon Purus, Ballard Partner To Launch Class 6 & 7 Fuel Cell Electric Trucks

Hexagon Purus ASA HPURF and Ballard Power Systems Inc BLDP collaborate to produce Class 6 & 7 Fuel Cell Electric Trucks powered by Hexagon Purus' turnkey electric drivetrain and hydrogen storage system solutions and Ballard's fuel cell module.
This truck will provide a range of over 400 miles and refueling times compared to conventional trucks.
Ballard's 8th generation of fuel cell module, the FCmove, provides a zero-emissions electric power source.
Hexagon Purus' lightweight type 4 hydrogen storage systems, ProPack battery storage, and fully integrated electrified accessory systems deliver zero-emissions power for electrified commercial vehicles.
The two parties' collaboration is expected to accelerate hydrogen and fuel cell adoption in heavy-duty transport applications. The prototype of the hydrogen truck is expected to be delivered in 2Q22.
