ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT
Ballard's FCmove platform is
available with 70- and 100-kW
versions and both roof-top and
engine-bay configurations
trucks come standard with advanced driver-assistance systems
(ADAS) and are equipped with an Electronic Parking
Brake system, keyless entry and push-to-start functions. With
up to 185-kW CCS1 charging capability, the extended-range
version of the 8TT and 6F can drive up to 200 miles (322 km)
on a charge.
The versatile Gen 3 8TT is suitable for drayage, regional
haul and distribution work. The 6F can perform regional haul
and distribution work and also can be equipped with a body
for refuse collection.
" We listen to our customers and their drivers to ensure we
provide the features and performance they need to get a job
done, " said Stella Li, president of BYD North America. " With
our next-generation 6F and 8TT, we're setting a new standard
for driver comfort and safety in an electric vehicle. "
BYD claims to be the leader in battery-electric truck deployments
with more than 8,000 trucks in service around the
world and more than 200 in service across the United States.
Class 6 FCEV collaboration
Hexagon Purus and Ballard Power Systems announced a new
collaboration to produce Class 6 and 7 fuel-cell electric trucks
powered by Hexagon Purus' turnkey electric drivetrain and
hydrogen storage system and Ballard's 8th generation fuelcell
module, the FCmove. The truck is expected to offer a
range of more than 400 miles (644 km) and refueling times
comparable to conventional trucks.
With Hexagon Purus' lightweight type 4 H2
storage systems,
high energy density ProPack battery storage and fully
integrated electrified accessory systems, the companies expect
the truck to enter California's Hybrid and Zero-Emission
Truck and Bus Voucher Incentive Program (HVIP) eligible vehicle
list in 2022. First fleet deployments will be in and around
the Los Angeles Basin area.
The companies expect this collaboration to enable accelerated
adoption of hydrogen and fuel cells in heavy-duty transport
applications. " Fuel-cell and hydrogen technologies will
enable the decarbonization of the heavy-duty transportation
sector with long range and quick vehicle refueling, without
compromising on payload. Our partnership with Hexagon
Purus will deliver a high-performance, zero-emission Class 6-7
