<P STYLE="font: bold 24pt Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin-right: 0; margin-left: 0">Ballard announces order for 6.4 MW to eCap Marine
for Samskip vessels</P>

<P STYLE="font: 15pt Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin-right: 0; margin-left: 0">VANCOUVER, BC, July 21, 2025 /CNW/ -&nbsp;Ballard
Power Systems (NASDAQ: BLDP) (TSX: BLDP) today announced the signing of a new purchase order for the supply of 6.4 MW of fuel cell engines
to eCap Marine GmbH (&quot;eCap Marine&quot;, www.ecap-marine.com), a long-standing expert in emission free power, for deployment on two
vessels by Samskip (www.samskip.com), one of the largest multimodal European operators specializing in short sea, rail, road and barge
services.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 15pt Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin-right: 0; margin-left: 0">The 32 FCwave&trade;-200 kW engines will be integrated
into green marine propulsion systems by eCap Marine and power two vessels in Samskip's fleet to decarbonize routes between Norway and
the Netherlands. The order continues the collaboration with eCap Marine which started in 2021. Delivery of the engines is planned for
2025 and 2026.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 15pt Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin-right: 0; margin-left: 0">&quot;We're proud to expand our partnership with eCap
Marine and Samskip with one of the largest marine fuel cell engine orders in history,&quot; said Marty Neese, President &amp; CEO, Ballard
Power Systems. &quot;Deploying our fuel cell engines on these two Samskip vessels provides a critical validation point for the use of
PEM fuel cell propulsion for maritime applications.&quot;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 15pt Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin-right: 0; margin-left: 0">Lars Ravens, Managing Director of eCap Marine stated,
&quot;Our continued collaboration with Ballard is central to our mission to decarbonize marine transport. This latest order exemplifies
our shared commitment to operational excellence and environmental stewardship. Together, we are delivering a clean propulsion solution
that meets the rigorous demands of long-haul marine operations.&quot;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 15pt Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin-right: 0; margin-left: 0">Ballard's FCwave&trade; is the world's first DNV type-approved
fuel cell module for marine applications, ensuring compliance with international maritime safety and design standards. This order is supported
by ENOVA, Norway's government agency for energy and climate initiatives, reinforcing the role of public-private collaboration in accelerating
the transition to sustainable marine energy solutions.</P>
