"This is an exciting opportunity for Hydrogenics as we undertake our first European fuel cell integration project in an effort to advance the commercialization of fuel cell technology in this key region," said Pierre Rivard, Hydrogenics president and CEO. "It is very gratifying that NRW has recognized the strengths of Hydrogenics' technology and technical support. From the time of our acquisition of ENKAT in 2002, NRW's progressive stance on new energy technologies and international collaboration has made them an important partner for Hydrogenics. In the context of this project, the State has voiced some exciting ambitions around the demonstration and deployment of zero-emission transit technology and we would like very much to be there with them as they strive for these outcomes."

The project and its assessment will take place over a one-year period. Demonstrations are expected to be underway by the middle of next year.
