BAE Systems is a world-leading developer of electric propulsion systems for buses, with a standard electric powertrain platform that covers a variety of power generation means, from diesel hybrid to full-electric. In the past, that range has also included production of hydrogen fuel cell-powered drivetrains. Now, thanks to a framework agreement with hydrogen systems supplier Plug Power, that capability has been reinforced, as the two companies are collaborating to supply zero-emissions powertrains to medium- and heavy-duty vehicles. Hydrogen-electric powertrains enable transit fleets to operate cleanly, quietly and efficiently at extended ranges over battery electric vehicles. Unlike electric trams or EVs, which require extensive route infrastructure, hydrogen fuel cell buses can be quickly refuelled in existing city fleet facilities equipped with hydrogen dispensers. |
