Ballard Power Systems has today launched its FCgen®-HPS proton exchange membrane (PEM) fuel cell stack and signed a non-binding Memorandum of Understanding with German automobile manufacturer Audi.
Fully designed and developed by Ballard to automotive standards in the company’s Technology Solutions programme with Audi AG, the new stack will provide propulsion for a range of light-, medium- and heavy-duty vehicles.
