ENC’s Axess® Battery Electric Bus (EVO-BE™) and Axess Hydrogen
Fuel Cell Electric Bus (EVO-FC™) will integrate BAE Systems’ Gen3
power inverters and electric motors for a common structural
powertrain across both platforms. Using a modular design, BAE
Systems’ Modular Power Control System (MPCS) and Modular Accessory
Power System (MAPS) offer ENC the flexibility to have one common
electric drive propulsion and accessory power management solution
across both of its new zero emission transit bus offerings.
“BAE Systems and ENC have worked together for years to help
cities improve air quality with electric bus solutions,” said Steve
Trichka, vice president and general manager of Power &
Propulsion Solutions at BAE Systems. “Our expanded collaboration
now includes multiple zero-emission options, delivering efficient,
proven, and clean transportation solutions for transit fleets.”
Along with BAE Systems’ Gen3 hardware, ENC’s EVO-FC will feature
a 125kW hydrogen fuel cell from Plug. The ProGen 125kW fuel cell
provides best-in-class power density, fuel-based operational
flexibility and range flexibility for hydrogen fuel cell buses.
Over 55,000 Plug fuel cells are in daily service across North
America, serving fleets both small and large.
“We’re excited to collaborate with BAE Systems and provide our
125kW hydrogen fuel cell for their integrated electric drive
system,” said Jose Luis Crespo, General Manager Fuel Cell
Applications/Global Accounts at Plug. “Our proven ProGen fuel cells
deliver the benefits of green hydrogen with a highly reliable
zero-emission solution. Plug is working with BAE Systems to bring
our technology into sustainable transit bus fleets.”
On the Axess EVO-BE platform, BAE Systems’ Gen3 technology will
integrate with a battery system supplied by Proterra Powered,
providing zero-emission operation under the same common
powertrain.
Building on 25 years of innovation, BAE Systems’ Gen3 Series-EV
battery electric and Series-H hydrogen fuel cell products power
buses around the globe. The company has more than 15,000 propulsion
systems in service on transit buses worldwide.
Its electric propulsion technology is developed and serviced at
its facilities in Endicott, New York and Rochester, U.K.
