Plug Power Inc. said it will work with BAE Systems PLC on hydrogen-powered electric buses.

Plug Power and BAE Systems will collaborate to supply zero-emissions powertrains to heavy-duty transit bus original equipment manufacturers in North America, integrating Plug Power's ProGen fuel cell engines into BAE Systems' smart electric drive systems.

The companies will also provide hydrogen and refueling infrastructure to end-customers use points.

"The companies will work together to offer transit operators in North America an all-inclusive, scalable system to reach zero emissions, providing required site, vehicle, and service solutions," BAE said.

Plug Power shares were up 4% to $29.97 in early trading.
