In September, the United States Postal Service (USPS) will begin a two-year= lease of a fuel cell vehicle from General Motors (GM) to deliver mail in a= nd around Washington, DC. This is the first commercial application of a GM= fuel cell vehicle in the U.S. GM also announced it has set a new world di= stance record for fuel cell technology with a run of 6,059 miles through 14= countries, ending with the arrival of the GM fuel cell-powered Opel miniva= n in Cabo da Roca near Lisbon, Portugal. During the 38-day run, GM said 25= international journalists took turns driving the minivan "without a single= report of an unscheduled stop for repair as it was subjected to high speed= s, steep mountain passes and temperature differences of more than 32 degree= s Fahrenheit."=20 http://media.gm.com/servlet/GatewayServlet?target=3Dhttp://image.emerald.gm= .com/gmnews/viewmonthlyreleasedetail.do?domain=3D3&docid=3D5140 http://media.gm.com/servlet/GatewayServlet?target=3Dhttp://image.emerald.gm= .com/gmnews/viewmonthlyreleasedetail.do?domain=3D3&docid=3D4769 =20 DaimlerChrysler Delivers Fuel Cell Cars in Berlin.

The UPS is powered by= a proton exchange membrane (PEM) fuel cell with metal hydride hydrogen fue= l storage and is fully self-contained in a single package. Palcan's UPS sy= stem is an air-cooled module producing 300-watts of constant electrical out= put of either 115 volts AC or 28 volts DC with an extended run time of five= hours at full power. http://www.palcan.com/s/Home.asp =20 FUELS/REFORMERS/STORAGE =20 BTI Reports on Safety of Hydrogen Fuel. Breakthrough Technologies Institute (BTI) general council William Vincent p= resented new analysis, titled "Hydrogen and the Law: Safety and Liability,"= during George Washington University School of Law's "Hydrogen Technolog= ies: The Legal Issues" conference in Washington, D.C. "Hydrogen can be as = safe as or safer than current fuel," concluded Vincent. "Any liability issu= es will be directly proportional to the success of technology developers, a= nd to the promulgation of safety codes and standards."
