With Hexagon Purus, MCV has signed up the next supplier for its hydrogen buses. The company had already ordered fuel cell modules for its buses from Ballard at the beginning of March. The tanks will be supplied by Hexagon Purus – more precisely, the supplier’s German plant in Kassel. According to a press release, this is MCV’s first order from Hexagon Purus. Delivery of the storage systems is planned for the current year.

The fuel cell buses from MCV with Ballard and Hexagon Purus technology on board are to be used in EU projects. The partners are not going into any more detail with regard to the end customers and locations of the future H2 buses. MCV is known in Germany and Europe primarily for its cooperation with Volvo and in the zero-emission sector for the C127 EV electric city bus.

“We continue experiencing strong commercial momentum for hydrogen transit bus as more bus manufacturers introduce fuel-cell electric bus offerings to support decarbonization of public transportation across several core markets,” said Michael Kleschinski, Executive Vice President, Hydrogen Mobility and Infrastructure at Hexagon Purus. “We are very excited to receive this first order from MCV and are looking forward to support their efforts in rolling out their hydrogen offering in Europe.”
