Fuel Cells (2)

The secret is out: Volkswagen is committed to fuel cell vehicle technology. The German carmaker, which earlier this week outlined its plans to achieve a 95g/km CO2 fleet in Europe by 2020 (see article), has now signed an agreement with Ballard Power Systems which will advance the development of fuel[...]

Fleet operators will get the chance to test drive a hydrogen fuel cell vehicle at this year’s Company Car in Action day. Microcab’s new H2EV model will be on hand to give fleet decision-makers a chance-likely their first-to try a model driven by hydrogen fuel. The brainchild of Professor John [...]

A collaboration between Suzuki and Intelligent Energy has developed a small-scale production line for fuel cell systems-taking the carmaker a step closer to production of a hydrogen-powered model. According to the Smile FC joint venture, a new manufacturing centre established in Yokohama in Japan [...]

More than one and a half million hydrogen-fuelled vehicles could be on UK roads by 2030, according to a new joint Government-industry study published today. The new UKH2Mobility project has laid out its Phase 1 of its roadmap to FCEVs (fuel cell electric vehicles) detailing how it envisages that th[...]

London and the South East is to gain a network of five hydrogen refuelling stations under a new project backed by the Technology Strategy Board (TSB). The three year London Hydrogen Network Expansion (LHNE) project will seek to install new hydrogen fuelling stations in the South East as well as upg[...]

Three heavyweights of the car industry have signed a unique three-way agreement to jointly develop a common fuel cell system to enable the market launch of hydrogen-fuelled vehicles.
