California has the leading pilot program for hydrogen fuel cells in the United States. At the center of this effort is the California Fuel Cell Partnership (caFCP), based in western Sacramento.31 Its thirty members include most major automakers, a number of energy companies (BP, ChevronTexaco Corporation, ExxonMobil Corpo-... 

An important partnership that is also a model of what will be needed to introduce hydrogen fuel cell vehicles is the California Fuel Cell Partnership (CaFCP). This partnership, headquartered in West Sacramento, was organized under the leadership of the California Air Resources Board in 1999. Its membership initially included oil and auto companies, but has expanded to include other energy suppliers, transit agencies, and other government agencies (including the DOE). In 2003, the partnership was renewed for another 4 years. 

To accelerate the development of fuel cell vehicles, the California Fuel Cell Partnership (CaFCP) was established in Sacramento, CA, in November 2000 (see http //www.fuelcellpartnership.org). The CaFCP 2002 technical achievements include ...
