Balqon, a developer and manufacturer of heavy-duty electric vehicles and drive systems, has partnered with T&K Logistics, a provider of switching, shuttle and yard management services, to provide electric yard tractors for Ford Motor Company at its Wayne Assembly Plant in Michigan.

The bus is fitted with an electric-motor hybrid system powered by batteries and fuel cells, and is fueled with high-pressure hydrogen gas. During operation, the vehicle does not emit carbon dioxide, said to be a cause of global warming, or any other atmospheric pollutant such as nitrogen oxide; it is both highly energy-efficient and very quiet.

The performance of vehicles with fuel cells is twice as high as those with combustion engines. So we reduce fuel consumption by a factor of 2. What's more, it's possible to significantly reduce CO2 emissions, or green gas emissions due to road traffic.
