Ballard fuel cell modules to power 64t B-train tractor-trailers in Canadian hydrogen project AZETEC

Green Car Congress

These modules will utilize Ballard’s liquid-cooled LCS technology, planned for commercial availability in 2019. The AZETEC project will test hydrogen as a zero-emissions alternative fuel to diesel, along with the refueling infrastructure and other systems that would be required for Alberta to implement this new fuel solution.
