In July 1998, Toyota said it would try to have a fuel cell automobile ready by 2003, but later this target date was dropped. Toyota was sharing technology with partner GM in a 5-year collaboration on electric, hybrid, and fuel cell cars. In 1998, the research division was testing methanol reformers and metal-hydrid hydrogen storage and had prototypes of each. [Pg.116]

As for the multimillion fleet of individual cars that are driven in and outside cities, a massive changeover to fuel eell-powered electric cars will become possible only when technical and economic figures of fuel cell vehicles become comparable to those of internal combustion and hybrid cars (which also undergo eonstant improvement). The changeover from petroleum-based automobile transport to eleetric car transport (requiring a radieal restrueturing of many sectors of economy) will, at any rate, be gradual and will streteh out for many years. [Pg.246]

New vehicles, propulsion systems, and fuels are on the horizon hybrid automobiles (combining an electric motor, batteries, and a gasoline or diesel engine), better electric cars, greater use of compressed natural gas (CNG) and propane for urban fleet vehi-... [Pg.1160]

The American automobile industry hopes to bring to the market in 2010 a "plug-in" hybrid vehicle that is able to drive many more miles to the gallon (400) than an economy-car (25). Assume the ICE to have an exergetic well (oil) to wheel efficiency of 14% and the electric motor 20% (from oil to electricity). See Chapter 18. How much is the reduction in C02 emission for the hybrid vehicle with respect to the gasoline driven vehicle ... [Pg.354]

Industry and Business. One of the main business sectors for electronic vehicles includes forkhfts and other indoor equipment for confined or explosive environments, such as mines. Other sectors that have made profits over the past years include electric scooters and small electric bicycles. And while there is significant media attention on electric cars, both fuel cell and battery based, as well as hybrid-electric vehicles, their contribution to the global automobile market is negligibly small and requires significant governmental incentives to become a fairer part of the global automotive economy. [Pg.590]

Before technological development of what is now called a hybrid vehicle, the automobile industry, by necessity, had to have two existing forms of motor energy to hybridize-namely internal combustion in combination with some form of electric power. Early versions of cars driven with electric motors emerged in the 1890 s and seemed destined to compete very seriously with both gasoline (internal combustion engines) and steam engines at the turn of the twentieth century. [Pg.996]
