The order represents an expansion of the relationship, following the order of 35 modules year-to-date in 2023, to power hybrid hydrogen and battery ultra-class mining haul trucks.\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \"The combination of hydrogen fuel cell and battery technology has proven itself as a viable zero-emission alternative to diesel in mine haulage,\" said\n \n Julian Soles\n \n , CEO at First Mode. \"We are excited to continue our partnership with Ballard to help our customers achieve their emission targets without sacrificing performance.\"\n \n \n Ultra-class haul trucks have high payload and energy requirements, while also needing to meet high uptime metrics to maintain existing operating practices. Ballard's fuel cell modules integrated into First Mode's nuGen™ solution deliver the duty cycle performance mining operators require.\n \n \n \"We are thrilled to support our partner First Mode as they scale the deployment of their mining haul truck platform,\" said\n \n David Mucciacciaro\n \n , Ballard's Chief Commercial Officer. \"Amongst our verticals, mining-haul trucks represent one of the most difficult to decarbonize use cases, and therefore one of the most attractive segments for our fuel cell products. We look forward to further demonstrating the value-proposition of our products in heavy-duty applications as additional First Mode vehicles enter service.\"\n \n \n First Mode is wo...
