Van Sun says Ballard's new bus creates waves in Orlando Ballard Power Systems Inc BLD Shares issued 83,768,812 Oct 12 close $43.30 Wed 13 Oct 99 In the News The Vancouver Sun reports in its Wednesday edition that Ballard Power Systems and its partners have put another fuel cell bus on the road and reiterate that they are on schedule for commercial production of zero-emission bus engines by 2002. Reporter William Boei says the new bus is attracting quite a bit of interest at the International Public Transportation Exposition, a transit trade show in Orlando, according to Ballard officials. The new engine was built by Dbb Fuel Cell Engines, which is owned 51 per cent by Daimler-Chrysler, 27 per cent by Ballard and 22 per cent by Ford. This P4 engine is the commercial prototype, according to Dbb chief operating officer Rick Pow. He says it is ready to go to the bus manufacturers today for integration into their buses. Mr. Pow says his company is talking with a number of the bus manufacturers right now. He says the new bus was brought to Florida to show the public transportation industry that fuel cell technology is not six to 10 years off as some people have said, but it is actually ready to go to bus manufacturers and it will be in production in 2002.
