12. Fuel Cell Vehicles - International Status
Many major automobile manufacturers have recently reaffirmed their commitment to develop fuel cell vehicles. Plans exist in Germany and Japan to expand the hydrogen infrastructure.
Daimler*
Small-series production of FCEVs began in summer 2009
Plans for tens of thousands of FCEVs per year in 2015 – 2017 and hundreds of thousands a few years after
Volkswagen
Expanded demo fleet to 24 FCEVs in CA
Recently reconfirmed commitment to FCEVs
Germany: Infrastructure
Public/private partnership to build 1000 hydrogen stations by 2015
SAIC (China)
Partnering with GM to build 10 fuel cell vehicles in 2010
Hyundai-Kia*
2020: Planned expansion of demo fleet to 500 vehicles
2012: FCEVs/year
2015: 10,000 FCEVs/year
“Borrego” FCEV has achieved >340-mile range.
Renault*
Toyota*
: U.S. demo fleet of 100 vehicles
2015: Target for large-scale commercialization
“FCHV-adv” has achieved 431-mile range and 68 mpgge
General Motors*
115 vehicles in demonstration fleet
2012: Technology readiness goal for FC powertrain
2015: Target for commercialization
GM: Reaffirmed commitment despite management changes and financial troubles. GM’s goal is to have powertrain ready for production by “Technology leadership is one of the pillars of the company. That is going to remain, and it will probably be emphasized as part of the brand of GM,” says Alan Taub, exec director of GM R&D. Taub also noted substantial progress in FC cost and size reduction.
HONDA: FCX Clarity named “World Green Car of the NY auto show, and received EPA-certified fuel economy of 72mpgge. Honda’s head of environmental planning claimed “A conventional battery-powered car would require a battery weighing two tons to match the range and performance of the Clarity and it would take hours to charge fully.
TOYOTA: Toyota said auto industry will be “shocked” by the low price of its first production FCEV. Toyota’s “Highlander Fuel Cell Hybrid Vehicle – Advanced (FCHV-adv) achieved about 431 miles range on compressed H2 tank, with average fuel economy of 68.3mpgge. Data was monitored and confirmed by NREL.
HYUNDAI: Company plans to invest $1.7B in advanced vehicle technologies, including FCs by 2013.
VOLVO: Subsidiary Volvo Technology Transfer is to receive $25M from Swedish Energy Agency and two international investors for FC research (not necessarily vehicle-focused)
VW: Not a visible FC advocate until recently, confirmed that it is committed to building FCs for its H2-powered vehicles. 16 vehicles originally tested in china have joined 8 others operating in CA.
SAIC: Chinese car manufacturer Shanghai Automotive Industry Corp (largest auto in China) has a $50 million, joint venture with GM called the Pan Asia Technical Automotive Center (PATAC), which provides automotive engineering services, including design, development, testing, and validation of components and vehicles for automotive companies in China and the Asia Pacific region.  SAIC and GM are planning to build 10 fuel cell vehicles in 2010 using the same propulsion system used in the Project Driveway Equinoxes inside an SAIC vehicle body.  (
