Core Viewpoint - Ballard Power Systems is set to launch its new-generation transit fuel cell module, the FCmove-SC, aimed at enhancing city transit buses with lower costs, simplified integration, smarter fleet services, and improved safety [1][13]. Product Enhancements - The FCmove-SC targets a peak power capability of at least 75 kW, optimized for consistent output and higher thermal margins, which supports smaller cooling requirements and provides more usable waste heat for cabin heating, ultimately reducing operating costs [3]. - The design simplifies integration by internalizing the DC/DC converter and power controller, resulting in fewer external interfaces and reduced maintenance requirements [3][5]. - The module is expected to have a service life of approximately 25,000 operating hours under standard transit duty cycles [3]. Intelligent Services - Ballard is enhancing its fleet services by integrating predictive maintenance and analytics with the FCmove-SC, utilizing onboard communications and the FCServiceCloud Customer Insight portal to maximize uptime and lower lifecycle support costs [4]. Safety Features - The FCmove-SC architecture includes industry-leading safety features, such as a new internal geometry in the PEM stack enclosure that mitigates hydrogen-related risks, reducing reliance on conventional active safety measures [5]. Proven Performance - Ballard has deployed over 850 vehicles in Europe, with its FCmove-HD module achieving nearly a hundred million service kilometers, informing the design and architecture of the FCmove-SC for lower total cost of ownership [6]. Market Positioning - The company aims to deliver a 30% increase in system power at end-of-life, improved durability, and a 25% increase in volumetric power density through integrated DC/DC packaging, alongside a 40% reduction in total part count [7].
