Quantum Delivers Hydrogen Hybrids

January 26th, 2006 by Hydrogen Power

Quantum Fuel Systems Technologies Worldwide, Inc. has delivered five hydrogen-fueled Toyota Prius hybrid vehicles to the City of Santa Ana, California. These hydrogen fueled internal combustion engine hybrids are designed to stimulate demand for hydrogen, speed the development of a hydrogen infrastructure and function as a bridge vehicle technology to hydrogen fuel cells.

The complete hydrogen internal combustion engine fuel system, including both the injection system and hydrogen storage system, was developed by Quantum at its Advanced Vehicle Concept Center in Lake Forest, CA. Included in the fuel systems are the company’s patented fuel injectors, fuel rails, electronic control system and software, hydrogen storage, and an optimized turbocharger. In addition to performing in specified starting conditions and meeting certain drivability specifications, the vehicles have been designed and tested to achieve SULEV (Super Ultra Low Emissions Vehicle) emissions standards.

Iceland Commits to Hydrogen Power

January 20th, 2006 by Hydrogen Power

Iceland has an enormous natural resource in their hot springs and flowing rivers which enable it to heat homes and businesses and provide electricity with hydroelectric power. Iceland is now committing to using that electricity to create hydrogen which, by the middle of the century, will be required for powering all of their vehicles. Their cheap electricity provides the perfect opportunity for generating hydrogen at low cost. As long as fuel cell development proceeds and makes hydrogen powered cars cost effective, Iceland could be well on its way to becoming a hydrogen economy.

Thanks for the tip, Jester!
