ObjectsDemonstration Project


1. Introduce low power (up to 10 kW) fuel cell captive fleets in selected early market niches for transport to enhance public awareness and acceptance in four European Regions (in France, Spain, Germany and Italy)

2. Demonstrate a significant number of Common fuel cell “power modules” (158) coming from four European fuel cell manufacturers in transport applications, to achieve a minimum critical mass for early industrialization, gaining a significant reduction of costs.

3. Set up a micro-infrastructure for hydrogen refueling including logistics, maintenance services, monitoring, training

4. Address cross-cutting actions such as regulations & standards, costs issues, environmental impact, safety, policy encourage, etc.

Building up safe & functional infrastructure for alternative motorfuels (Hydrogen) to serve future road traffic in urban areas

Promoting car fleet development for Hydrogen

Promoting public acceptance for Hydrogen as an alternative fuel

Developing suggestions and models for faster penetration of Hydrogen over larger urban areas in the EU

Contributing to the EC political objective of at least 5% Hydrogen powered vehicles in the road transport sector by year 2020

Expected Results


The Clean Energy Partnership

• Unites 11 companies from France, Germany, Norway, Sweden, the United Kingdom and the US

• Potential European Light-House-Project• International Public-Private Partnership• Supported by the Federal German Government• Project duration 2002 – 2007

• Objectives: - Mobility based on hydrogen

- Reduction of CO2-emissions and mitigation of the greenhouse-effect

- Diversification of energy sources- Proof of international cutting edge technology in fuels and vehicle drives


Mobility Partner BVG

By the end of 2007, the BVG will operate 14 MAN buses with hydrogen internal combustion engines in the framework of HyFLEET:CUTE

Thereby running the world’s largest fleet of environ-ment-friendly hydrogen buses


Mobility Partner BMW Two Hydrogen 7 with IC-Engine


Cars with fuel cell power trains


H2-internal combustion engine+ high power density

+ relatively low costs of production

+ proven long life span

Fuel-cell power train+ very agile and silent

+ zero emission vehicles

+ High system effectiveness

Both concepts show specific advantages and potentials. The build-up of a hydrogen infra-structure and the development of cars is the joint task of the oil industry and the car manufacturers.

Specific advantages of hydrogen cars with fuelcell power trains and internal combustion engines


• Everyday suitability of H2 for transportation

- real-life operation of hydrogen stations- reliable hydrogen vehicles in customer operation - fast and safe fuelling of vehicles with LH2 and CH2

Challenges: Operation 2004 –07

• Innovations- Optimization of on-board and on-site storage of hydrogen- Improvement of driving ranges of vehicles - Improvement in the life cycle of fuel cell vehicles- Large-scale production of H2 based on renewables
