Fuel Cell Vehicles FCVs

Note the fuel cell plot refers to fuel cell plus balance-of-plant, whereas the fuel cell drive-train plot also includes the electromechanical drive to the wheels. [Pg.248]

In the years following these early attempts, companies in Europe, Japan and the USA have been endeavouring to develop more practical FCV.S. Almost exclusively, these have used hydrogen due to the aforementioned difficulty of incorporating on-board reformers and integrating them successfully with the fuel-cell stack. The emphasis has been on urban buses and private cars for the reasons discussed below. Apart from a few concept vehicles that employed alkaline fuel cells, almost all of the serious programmes have used PEMFCs, [Pg.249]


Gasoline fuel cell vehicles (FCVs) could be an interim step. Their main advantage is the use of an available fuel. An affordable gasoline reformer could allow a market for fuel cell vehicles without a hydrogen infrastructure. [Pg.86]

Table 15.5 lists our cost and performance assumptions for hydrogen fuel-cell vehicles (FCVs) and a gasoline internal combustion engine reference vehicle. FCV... [Pg.465]

Replacing conventional vehicles by fuel-cell vehicles (FCVs) induces sectoral employment shifts away from traditional car manufacturing (see Fig. 18.7). [Pg.543]

The committee estimates that the fuel cell system, including on-board storage of hydrogen, will have to decrease in cost to less than 100 per kilowatt (kW)4 before fuel cell vehicles (FCVs) become a plausible commercial option, and that it will take at least a decade for this to happen. In particular, if the cost of the fuel cell system for light-duty vehicles does not eventually decrease to the 50/kW range, fuel cells will not propel the hydrogen economy without some regulatory mandate or incentive. [Pg.20]

As there are currently no retail markets for either hydrogen transportation fuel or fuel cell vehicles (FCVs), any discussion of such markets necessarily prospects the future. Such a task is inherently uncertain—many forecasts have been wrong even in mature markets. We undertake this risky enterprise by framing the discussion of future markets for hydrogen and FCVs around two questions. First, what is the history and future of mobility Second, within this future, why would anyone buy an FCV ... [Pg.33]

The scenarios on introduction of fuel cell vehicles (FCV) and stationary fuel cells were issued from the Advisory Panel of Agency for Natural Resource and Energy (ANRE) of METI, which are shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2. [Pg.56]

Advance the technology elements required to develop a semi-conformal, Compressed Hydrogen Gas Integrated Storage System (CH2-ISS) for light-duty fuel cell vehicles (FCVs)... [Pg.218]

Battery research and development are relevant not only to hybrid vehicles based on internal combustion engines, but also to fuel cell vehicles (FCVs) see Section 7.5. It is likely that the latter will always require a sizeable battery to aid start-up, to buffer the fuel cell when peak power is demanded and to recuperate energy otherwise lost in braking. In short, the FCV is an all-electric hybrid. [Pg.238]
