Hyundai Delivers First FCEV Tucson
Fuel Cell Electric Vehicles (FCEV) took another step closer to reality as Hyundai delivered the first of 10 Tucson & Sportage SUV's to the Alameda-Contra Costa Transit District (AC Transit) today.
The project will take five years to fully evaluate the viability of fuel cell & hydrogen technologies in vehicles.
Dr. Won Suk Cho, president, Hyundai America Technical Center, Inc. said: "Hyundai’s partnership with AC Transit represents the first time that a third-party has been involved in our fuel cell vehicle research, and it marks another milestone in our effort to bring this technology to commercialization.”
The Hyundai America Technical Center in California was awarded a grant in 2004 by the U.S. Department of Energy, to look into hydrogen-powered fuel cell technology for automobiles. Hyundai alongside Chevron and UTC Power, began work in Feb 2005 and aim to give AC Transit two more Tucson's in 2006. The remaining Kia Sportage SUV's will be in operation by the end of 2007.
