MISSISSAUGA, ONTARIO -- Hydrogenics Corporation (Toronto:HYG.TO)(NasdaqGM:HYGS), a designer and manufacturer of hydrogen and fuel cell systems, today announced that it has been selected by Air Liquide Canada to provide a hydrogen generation system to support BC Transit's fleet of 20 fuel cell-powered buses. The system is anticipated to be delivered in 2008 and will be located at BC Transit's Langford Transit Centre.

This onsite hydrogen generation system will be the first system sold to Air Liquide in Canada and the first system integrated into an Air Liquide fueling station in North America.
