GM convinced hydrogen cars are the future
12 December 2005Larry Burns of GM, whom we’ve noted before, is all fired up about hydrogen cars and says GM will have a competitive car ready by 2010. That’s well in front of anyone else’s prediction but he cites the constant improvements in cost and efficiency achieved by GM already. One of his driving forces is the [...]
Hyundia Greenspeed Gator Fuel Cell Dragster
29 November 2005Everyone thinks about hydrogen fuel cells installed in very efficient people movers, cruising down the road quietly and cleanly, … very proper. Of course, anyone who has observed the history of self propelled vehicles knows sooner or later, someone’s going to start racing them and I like that. The upcoming 2006 LA Auto Show had [...]
GM says cooperation in hydrogen makes sense
25 November 2005GM says it has made a lot of progress in reducing fuel cell costs, dropping them by half in the last 12 months, and continues to push forward in this area. Larry Burns, GM’s vice president for r&d and strategic planning, in an interview with Automobilwoche, believes fuel cells will be on the market in [...]
GM begins public fuel cell propulsion in Korea

Press release follows:
Starting immediately, Korea joins the growing number of countries taking advantage of GM’s well proven fuel cell expertise and technology in everyday transportation. Yesterday, the HydroGen3 fuel cell vehicle, based on the last generation Opel/Vauxhall Zafira [...]
Robot fuel cell assembly reduces cost of production
9 November 2005Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute has a research project under way with the goal of developing a robotic assembly process for fuel cell stacks for PEM fuel cells:
“Many of the materials in PEM stacks are thin, flexible, soaked in corrosive acids, or highly sensitive to changes in humidity and temperature,” Puffer says. “This makes material handling orders [...]
