U.S. Fuel Cell Electric Vehicle Demonstration Project 2010 Status Update

摘要

The "Controlled Hydrogen Fleet and Infrastructure Demonstration and Validation Project," also known as the National Fuel Cell Electric Vehicle Learning Demonstration, is a U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) project started in 2004. The purpose of this project is to conduct an integrated field validation that simultaneously examines the performance of fuel cell vehicles and the supporting hydrogen infrastructure. The DOE's National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) has now analyzed data from over five years of the seven-year project. During this time, 150 fuel cell electric vehicles have been deployed, 23 project refueling stations were placed in use, and no fundamental safety issues have been identified. We've analyzed data from over 430,000 individual vehicle trips covering 2,500,000 miles traveled and over 130,000 kg hydrogen produced or dispensed.
