Greg Marx, Applications Engineer, Power & Propulsion Solutions at BAE Systems, provided an overview of the evolution of fuel cell architecture in transit buses in North America in a presentation at APTA Expo 2023 held in early October in Orlando, Florida, USA.

The new MAN VOK-08-F bus front axle will go into production in mid-2024 for installation in New Flyer of America’s range of Xcelsior transit bus models.

The aim of the consortium's project is to automate a 40-foot bus for automated depot operations, which is expected to revolutionize how buses are stored, operated, and charged.

Lightning ZEV4 Type A School Bus, Clean Bus certification and funding, and Lightning Mobile fast charging trailer, are just some of the products and developments the e-Mobility specialist has brought to market this year.

Vehicle deployment is to take place on the 120 acre campus in mid-2024.
