Ballard Power Systems' FCmove fuel cell module is powering the first-ever Fuel Cell Electric Bus (FCEB) manufactured in New Zealand.

The FCEB has been designed and built by Global Bus Ventures, and is currently completing testing activities with planned deployment in revenue service later this month with Auckland Transport.

Also, in 2019 Global Bus Ventures was awarded a contract by Auckland Transport – which has responsibility for all transport services in the city – for the supply of a FCEB to be used as part of the Ports of Auckland hydrogen fuel production and refueling plant trial. The GBV-designed FCEB has been road-tested over the past several weeks in the city of Rolleston and was delivered to Auckland Transport earlier this month.
