Rolling Hydrogen Fueling Stations
A California company announced that it has taken a step forward in solving the problem of lack of infrastructure in the transition from gas to zero-emissions hydrogen vehicles by by supplying General Motors with three transportable hydrogen refueling stations that will be used at such venues as public ride-and-drive events.
General Motors has been testing such fuel-cell vehicles as the Chevrolet Sequel, which uses Quantum’s integrated hydrogen storage system
According to Alan Niedzwiecki, president and CEO of Quantum Fuel Systems Technologies, “Our transportable hydrogen refueling stations are designed to support our customers as they advance their hydrogen fuel cell vehicle initiatives and are helping to establish the foundation of a hydrogen refueling network.” He further added that the rolling stations “translate directly into a greater vehicle driving range for hydrogen-fueled vehicles.”
The National Hydrogen Association says that, as of May 22, 2007, there are only 79 stations in North America in its hydrogen fueling station database. Many of these stations are located at automotive proving grounds and the tech centers of foreign and domestic automakers, according to a list of worldwide hydrogen fueling stations.
