Daimler-Chrysler

During the year 1999 TradeXchange was formed as a joint-venture web site through which General Motors, Ford, and Daimler-Chrysler source their purchases. Their total purchases are at 240 billion annually.

Fuel cell vehicles with onboard methanol reformers would have very low emissions of urban air pollutants. Daimler-Chrysler has built demonstration fuel cell vehicles that convert methanol to hydrogen. 

In Ballard s alliance with Ford, Volvo, and Daimler Chrysler, they will supply the other components of the vehicles from the car body to the electric motor drive. The fuel cell will function as the car s engine. It needs cooling, control and fuel processing.

Perth Hydrogen Bus Trial. Trial and demonstrations of three hydrogen fuel cell buses. Evaluation of the potential benefits for the operation of bus services in Perth and elsewhere in Western Australia. Project partners include the Western Australian State Government, Murdoch University. BP, and Daimler-Chrysler working under a budget of 10.72 million (cash) 5 million (in kind). 

CRYOPLANE "Liquid Hydrogen Fuelled Aircraft-System Analysis". Coals A large consortium of companies, research institutions and universities of 11 European countries, co-ordinated by Daimler-Chrysler Aerospace Airbus CmbH, in which the Spanish participation was held by CASA and the Polytechnics University of Madrid, run this project. The project objective considered liquid hydrogen as the only known fuel suitable for aviation to be produced from renewable energy sources and offering extremely low pollutant emissions. 

Methanol has a number of advantages for powering fuel cell vehicles. As the 2001 study for the caFCP noted, these include methanol s immediate availability without new upstream infrastructure, high hydrogen-carrying capacity, and ability to be readily stored, delivered, and carried on-board without pressurization. 22 In short, our transportation system and its infrastructure favor liquid fuels. Fuel cell vehicles with onboard methanol reformers would have very low emissions of urban air pollutants. Daimler-Chrysler has introduced demonstration fuel cell vehicles that convert methanol to hydrogen on board.

Ballard is a worldwide organisation with large shareholders, namely Ford, General Motors, Daimler-Benz (Daimler Chrysler) and, on the power side, GPU International and FBARA in Japan. In addition to stationary power stacks of 250 kW, FBARA is pushing hard on a 1 kW domestic PFFC (Ballard Press Release BW0117, 22 February 2001, via web site businesswire.com). 

Also at Palm Springs, two papers by the Methanol Fuel Cell Alliance (Ballard/BASF/BPAmoco/Daimler Chrysler/Methanex/Statoil) and the Methanol Institute, respectively, portray the existing substantial methanol production, distribution and trading based on natural gas reform/synthesis gas/methanol, as in the Methanex Canada plant. Methanol from biomass is a future possibility. A methanol pump can be fitted within the footprint of many existing diesel/gasoline filling stations, and an Identic refuelling nozzle has been developed in Sweden, to avoid confusion between methanol and alternative fuels.

Daimler-Chrysler s NECAR IV may be a preview of the future of automobiles. The NECAR IV is a compact car that is powered by a hydrogen fuel cell (HFC). This model can reach speeds of 90 mph (145 km/h), carry up to five passengers and cargo, and travel 280 miles (450 km) before refueling. It runs on oxygen from the air and pure hydrogen supplied in a tank. Its exhaust is water, making it pollution free. 

Daimler-Benz and Chrysler merged to become Daimler-Chrysler, a Euro-pean/American business operating worldwide, with automotive production interests in Asia and the Pacific Rim countries, and then demerged to its initial constituent parts.
