The supply agreement covers 50 FCmove-HD+ engines, which are expected to be delivered between 2025 and 2026 and are to initially support projects in the EU. An initial order of 35 units was placed in 2023, which Ballard describes as representing “the continued growth of the relationship with MCV which started in 2022 with fuel cell engine integration support.”

The two companies did not go into more detail with regard to the end customers and locations of the future H2 buses. MCV is primarily known in Europe for its cooperation with Volvo and in the zero-emission sector for the C127 EV electric city bus.

“We are delighted with this order and the continued engagement with MCV,” said Oben Uluc, Vice President, Europe Sales & Marketing at Ballard. “In 2024 we took in 1,600 bus engines orders across 7 OEMs, and this agreement continues the momentum into 2025. As the fuel cell bus market continues to mature, we look forward to the use of Ballard fuel cell engines to decarbonize public transit across the globe.”
