Ballard Power Systems has entered a long-term supply agreement with Canadian Pacific Kansas City (CPKC) to deliver 98 fuel cell engines in 2025, supporting CPKC's hydrogen locomotive programme. The partnership, initiated in 2021, has already integrated Ballard's fuel cell engines into hydrogen-powered locomotives in Canada. CPKC's innovative approach involves combining fuel cells and batteries to power electric traction motors, significantly reducing emissions. The recent order signifies CPKC's commitment to decarbonization and confidence in hydrogen fuel cells as a sustainable replacement for diesel engines, offering environmental benefits and operational advantages. CPKC has been conducting tests on prototype diesel freight locomotives retrofitted with hydrogen fuel cells since 2022. Additionally, operational hydrogen production and refueling stations in Calgary and Edmonton showcase CPKC's progress in adopting sustainable technology. With three hydrogen locomotives already in operation, CPKC is demonstrating the feasibility and effectiveness of hydrogen-powered freight rail transportation.
