Industry-and government-sponsored research programs have made very impressive technical progress over the past several years, and several companies are currently introducing pre-commercial vehicles and hydrogen fueling stations in limited markets. However, to achieve wide hydrogen vehicle penetration, further technological advances are required for commercial viability, and vehicle manufacturer and hydrogen supplier activities must be coordinated. In particular, costs must be reduced, new automotive manufacturing technologies commercialized, and adequate supplies of hydrogen produced and made available to motorists. These efforts will require considerable resources, especially federal and private sector funding. This book estimates the resources that will be needed to bring HFCVs to the point of competitive self-sustainability in the marketplace. It also estimates the impact on oil consumption and carbon dioxide emissions as HFCVs become a large fraction of the light-duty vehicle fleet. 606 $aFuel cell vehicles$xResearch$xGovernment policy$zUnited States 606 $aHydrogen as fuel$xResearch$xGovernment policy$zUnited States 615 0$aFuel cell vehicles$xResearch$xGovernment policy 615 0$aHydrogen as fuel$xResearch$xGovernment policy 676 $a629.22/9 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910964303203321 996 $aTransitions to alternative transportation technologies$94360101 997 $aUNINA
