Purus &amp; Ballard launched at ACT Expo</P>

<P STYLE="font: 15pt Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; text-align: center; margin-right: 0; margin-left: 0"><B>Continuing the drive toward
zero-emission commercial transport</B></P>

<P STYLE="font: 15pt Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin-right: 0; margin-left: 0">VANCOUVER, BC, Aug. 31, 2021 /CNW/ - <B>Hexagon Purus</B>&nbsp;and
<B>Ballard Power Systems</B>&nbsp;are proud to announce a new collaboration to produce <B>Class 6 &amp; 7 Fuel Cell Electric Trucks powered
by Hexagon Purus</B>' turnkey electric drivetrain and hydrogen storage system solutions and <B>Ballard's</B> fuel cell module.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 15pt Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin-right: 0; margin-left: 0">This revolutionary truck will provide a range of over
400 miles and refueling times comparable to conventional trucks. It is a zero-emission solution for fleet owners with demanding operations,
moving goods through the 'middle miles,' without the need to expand their fleet.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 15pt Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin-right: 0; margin-left: 0">Ballard's 8<SUP>th</SUP> generation of the fuel cell
module, the FCmove&trade;, provides a zero-emissions electric power source, with the reliability of over four decades of technology development
and over 50 million miles of on-the-road experience.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 15pt Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin-right: 0; margin-left: 0">Hexagon Purus' lightweight type 4 H2 storage systems,
high energy density ProPack battery storage, and fully integrated electrified accessory systems deliver light, efficient and long range
zero-emissions power for electrified commercial vehicles.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 15pt Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin-right: 0; margin-left: 0">Look for this truck to enter California's Hybrid and
Zero-Emission Truck and Bus Voucher Incentive Program (HVIP) eligible vehicle list in 2022. First fleet deployments will be in and around
the Los Angeles Basin area - a market with some of the nation's most stringent air quality regulations. California leads the US in supporting
the deployment of hydrogen fuel cell technology, including development of a statewide hydrogen fueling infrastructure to service fuel
cell vehicles.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 15pt Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin-right: 0; margin-left: 0">Both Hexagon Purus and Ballard have provided hydrogen
solutions and equipment to industry for decades. This collaboration of two industry veterans is expected to enable accelerated adoption
of hydrogen and fuel cells in heavy-duty transport applications.&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 15pt Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin-right: 0; margin-left: 0"><B><I>Driving energy transformation<BR>
</I></B>&quot;Our goal is to drive energy transformation through zero emission mobility solutions. We look forward to leveraging our extensive
experience in lightweight, reliable and safe hydrogen storage and battery electric drivetrain systems, and together with Ballard, pave
the way to zero emission commercial transport,&quot; says Todd Sloan, EVP, Hexagon Purus. &nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 15pt Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin-right: 0; margin-left: 0">&quot;Fuel cell and hydrogen technologies will enable
the decarbonization of the heavy-duty transportation sector with long range and quick vehicle refueling, without compromising on payload.
Our partnership with Hexagon Purus will deliver a high performance zero emission class 6-7 truck with the integration of state-of-the-art
fuel cell engine, hydrogen storage and electric drivetrain&quot; Nicolas Pocard, Vice-President Marketing &amp; Strategic Partnership</P>

<P STYLE="font: 15pt Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin-right: 0; margin-left: 0"><B><I>About the market<BR>
</I></B>Heavy-duty trucks are typically used for highway transportation; therefore, they are required to have sufficient cruising range
and load capacity as well as fast refueling capability. For this reason, fuel cell vehicles that run on hydrogen with its higher energy
density are considered effective.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 15pt Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin-right: 0; margin-left: 0">Hydrogen fuel cells are a no-combustion technology
that require a constant source of fuel and oxygen to create electricity. They emit only water. Hydrogen tanks on a fuel cell electric
car or truck can be refilled in about the same amount of time as liquid fuel tanks, eliminating the lengthy recharging times required
by battery-dependent electric vehicles. Hydrogen is available today from a variety of carbon-free and low carbon sources, providing low
or even negative total carbon emissions from transport fleets, and zero smog-forming pollutants.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 15pt Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin-right: 0; margin-left: 0"><B><I>Timing<BR>
</I></B>First prototype of the hydrogen truck will be delivered in the 2nd quarter 2022.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 15pt Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin-right: 0; margin-left: 0"><B>About Hexagon Purus ASA:<BR>
