Challenge X: Crossover to Sustainable Mobility

Ballard Power Systems, Inc.

At Ballard Power Systems, our vision is Power to Change the World®. We are a leader in developing and manufacturing zero-emission proton exchange membrane fuel cells for transportation, stationary and portable applications. We also sell friction materials for power train components.

Ballard is working with many of the world's leading auto manufacturers to develop the next generation of efficient and clean engines for the world's vehicles. These include transit buses, automobiles, and trucks using Ballard® fuel cells. With extremely low, or zero emissions, engines built with Ballard® fuel cells are ideally suited to the environmental performance demanded of the new generation of automotive power with the added advantage of being cleaner, quieter, and more efficient than the internal combustion engine.

Ballard's focus on the transportation market is to drive product innovation, cost reduction, and the development of volume manufacturing processes. Ballard, together with its customers, has demonstrated the suitability of proton exchange membrane (PEM) fuel cells as the best alternative to internal combustion engines for automotive power and reaffirmed Ballard's leading position in this large market.
