A fleet of clean burning hydrogen powered vehicles is crossing the US on a demonstration tour. This event is being sponsored by nine vehicle manufacturers, the US Department of Energy, California Fuel Cell Partnership, National Hydrogen Association, and US Department of Transport.
The aim of the Hydrogen Road Tour is to show that hydrogen vehicle and fuelling technologies are approaching commercial availability. At present six transit agencies across the US operate hydrogen-powered buses, Southern California auto dealers are leasing hydrogen vehicles, and hundreds of individuals are driving hydrogen-powered vehicles in demonstration programs across the United States. And hydrogen is versatile as it can be used either as a fuel for both a fuel cell vehicle or in a modified internal combustion engine. The tour is making 31 stops in 18 states, stretching from Maine to California. Hydrogen vehicles from BMW, Daimler, Ford, GM, Honda, Hyundai-Kia, Nissan, Toyota, and Volkswagen are making the journey, and will be joined by hydrogen transit buses along the route. Air Products and Chemicals and Linde are providing mobile refuelling stations and hydrogen fuel.
