“I’m honored to join Ballard in this new position,” said Scully. “One of the biggest driving forces in bus transportation has been powertrain selection and with the move to zero emissions across the globe the timing for hydrogen fuel cell powertrain couldn’t be better. Ballard’s deep experience and positive brand positions the company favorably to assist bus operators and manufacturers with a logical powertrain choice for their application.”

Scully has served on numerous association and executive boards including the American Bus Association, United Motorcoach Association, Canadian Urban Transit Association, and the American Public Transportation Association, where he led the Business Member Board of Governors and was awarded the Outstanding Public Transportation Business Member Award in 2017.
