of Non Precious Metal Catalyst-Based Fuel Cells for Material Handling</B></P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin: 9.75pt 0">VANCOUVER, Feb. 21, 2018 /CNW/ -&nbsp;Ballard Power Systems
(NASDAQ: BLDP; TSX: BLDP) today announced that it has received a follow-on purchase order from Nisshinbo Holdings (&quot;Nisshinbo&quot;;
www.nisshinbo.co.jp/english/), an Environmental and Energy company, to progress a previously announced Technology Solutions program
to the next stage.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin: 9.75pt 0">As per Ballard's September 12, 2017 press release, Technology
Solutions work resulted in the incorporation of Nisshinbo's Non Precious Metal Catalyst (NPMC) into the world's first NPMC-based
proton exchange membrane (PEM) fuel cell product, the 30 watt FCgen<SUP>&reg;</SUP>-1040 fuel cell stack, which was made available
for commercial sale in late-2017.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin: 9.75pt 0">A subsequent Technology Solutions program was announced in
Ballard's September 18, 2017 press release to assess the potential for development of NPMC-based fuel cell stacks for use in commercial
material handling applications. Blue chip brands such as Walmart and Amazon have demonstrated the strong value proposition offered
by current fuel cell-powered forklift trucks operating in high-throughput distribution centers.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin: 9.75pt 0">With successful completion of the assessment, the next stage
announced today will focus on certain performance and power density enhancements to support development of low cost NPMC-based
fuel cell stacks for material handling applications.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin: 9.75pt 0">&quot;Our goal for this multi-year Technology Solutions program
is to expand the serviceable addressable market for fuel cell-powered forklifts and accelerate market adoption through the commercialization
of leading air-cooled and liquid-cooled fuel cell stacks that deliver against market requirements at the lowest possible cost,&quot;
said Dr. Kevin Colbow, Ballard's Vice President &ndash; Technology and Product Development. &quot;NPMC-based stacks represent a
step-change in PEM fuel cell technology by dramatically reducing the amount of platinum that is needed. And, since platinum currently
contributes 10-to-15% of the cost of a fuel cell stack, NPMC technology offers the potential for meaningful cost savings.&quot;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin: 9.75pt 0">Nisshinbo is an &quot;Environmental and Energy Company&quot;
Group providing low-carbon, optimized products across a range of business lines, including chemicals, precision instruments, electronics,
automotive brakes and textiles. Nisshinbo has been a long-time leading global supplier of carbon plates used in the construction
of PEM fuel cells for various market applications. Nisshinbo has been a strategic supplier of compression molded bipolar flow field
carbon plates to Ballard for over 20 years. In November 2015, Nisshinbo also became a strategic equity investor in Ballard.</P>
