Ballard to launch FCmove®-SC fuel cell at Busworld: improved performance and lifecycle cost on the road to diesel parity

Ballard Power Systems will unveil its new-generation transit fuel cell module, the FCmove®-SC, at Busworld in Brussels on 4–9 October 2025. Designed for city transit duty, the FCmove®-SC builds on Ballard’s market-leading FCmove family to deliver greater sustained power, simplified vehicle integration, improved in-service performance and lower lifecycle cost as part of Ballard’s roadmap toward diesel parity.

“The FCmove®-SC is the latest product on Ballard’s new core product platform which anchors broader advances targeting the industry’s core challenge: narrowing the gap in cost of ownership parity with legacy diesel systems,” said Kevin Colbow, Senior Vice President and Chief Technology Officer, Ballard. “The fuel cell design significantly reduces integration complexity for bus manufacturers while improving life-time cost and performance for transit operators.”

The FCmove®-SC offers several enhancements for bus manufacturers and operators:

  • 25% increase in volumetric power density through integrated DC/DC packaging.
  • 25% higher maximum radiator outlet temperature (60°C → 75°C), simplifying vehicle thermal management.
  • 40% reduction in total part count.
