Did Ballard invent fuel cells? What products does Ballard manufacture?
Today, Ballard manufactures a wide range of fuel cell and related products. For the most part, we work with original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) who integrate our technology into their products. Fuel Cells Ballard builds proton exchange membrane (PEM) fuel cells for a variety of transportation, stationary and portable applications.

They include gas diffusion layers used in PEM fuel cells and friction materials for automatic transmissions. To learn more about Ballard's carbon fiber products, please click here.
