(Oslo, Norway, 7 February 2024) Hexagon Purus, a world leading
manufacturer of zero-emission mobility and infrastructure
solutions, has been selected as supplier of hydrogen cylinders for
the fourth year in a row by New Flyer, a subsidiary of NFI Group

Purus has been a long-term partner, and we are pleased to continue
working with them to offer the most innovative and advanced
hydrogen fuel cell-electric buses in Canada and the United States”,
said David White, Executive Vice President, Supply Management,

gas emissions and hydrogen can play an important role in cleaning
up this sector. We are proud to be part of New Flyer’s effort in
decarbonizing transit bus operations in North America”, says
Michael Kleschinski, EVP Hydrogen Mobility & Infrastructure.
“We have delivered hydrogen cylinders for New Flyer transit buses
for four years, and each year our contract size has grown,
highlighting our strong relationship with the customer. We have a
strong market position now with both US and European bus OEMs”, he
continues.
Timing
The cylinders will be delivered throughout 2024.
About the market
The mobility sector is accountable for approximately 20% of
annual carbon emissions globally, and hydrogen has a significant
role to play in reducing these emissions, particularly in “hard to
abate” sectors. Making green hydrogen available for use in amongst
other the mobility sector is critical to reduce carbon
emissions.
As hydrogen, a key contributor to the energy transition,
continues to build momentum globally, more than 30 countries have
released hydrogen roadmaps. According to the Hydrogen Council, the
number of announced hydrogen projects grew in 2023 by about 35% to
over 1,400, equaling USD 570 billion investments. Green hydrogen is
projected to supply up to 25% of the world's energy needs by
2050.
