General Motors (GM) has unveiled its latest concept vehicle, the Sequel. The Sequel incorporates technologies shown in previous concept vehicles, such as fuel cells, by-wire and wheel hub motors, as well as an 11-inch skateboard chassis. The Sequel, about the size of a Cadillac SRX, travels up to 300 miles on its hydrogen supply, and accelerates to 60 mph in less than 10 seconds.=20=20=20 http://media.gm.com <http://media.gm.com/>=20 =20 Start Spreadin' the News - Fuel Cell Cars to Come to New York. General Motors and Shell Hydrogen LLC announced that a fuel cell vehicle fleet and refueling station will be established in New York. GM will be providing 13 fuel cell-powered vehicles and Shell Hydrogen LLC will establish New York State's first hydrogen service station in the New York City metropolitan area in 2006, which is anticipated to involve installing a portable hydrogen-refueling module at an existing Shell station.=20=20 http://www.shell.com/home/Framework?siteId=3Dhome =20 Honda Delivers FCX to Hokkaido Prefectural Government, Will Lease FCX to Individual. Honda Motor Co., Ltd. delivered a Honda fuel cell stack-equipped FCX, the first fuel cell vehicle capable of starting in sub-freezing temperatures, to the Hokkaido Prefectural Government. The lease is the first of a fuel cell vehicle in Japan in a region that experiences sub-freezing temperatures. Honda also plans to begin leasing fuel cell vehicles to individual U.S. customers by the end of the year. Honda is anticipated to initially target drivers in California, leasing the cars for approximately $500 per month. http://world.honda.com/news/2005/4050127.html =20 DaimlerChrysler Testing in Freezing Temperatures, Hits 100 Fuel Cell Vehicles Goal. DaimlerChrysler is currently testing fuel cell vehicles in Detroit, Michigan, collecting operational data in the extreme cold. Daimler is testing both the Mercedes-Benz F-Cell and Dodge Fuel Cell Sprinter, containing the Electronic Stability Program (ESP). This system works with the Anti-lock Brake System (ABS) to aid the driver in maintaining vehicle directional stability, providing over steer and under steer control to maintain vehicle behavior on a multitude of road surfaces, including ice and snow. DaimlerChrysler has produced more than 100 fuel cell vehicles, making it the largest fuel cell fleet in the world. The vehicles include 60 Mercedes-Benz F-Cell passenger cars; three Dodge medium-duty fuel cell Sprinter Vans; 33 Mercedes-Benz Citaro fuel cell buses and more than 10 research and development vehicles. http://www.media.daimlerchrysler.com/gms_frame =20 STATIONARY POWER =20 Delphi Exceeds DOE's Cost Goal. Delphi Corp., a partner in the U.S. Department of Energy's advanced fuel cell development program, has reported that it has exceeded the power density level required to meet the $400 per kilowatt cost goal for fuel cells. Meeting the cost target is essential if fuel cells are to expand beyond their current niche markets into widespread commercial use. At $400 per kilowatt - nearly one-tenth the cost of power-generating fuel cells currently sold on the market - fuel cells would compete with traditional gas turbine and diesel electricity generators.=20 http://www.fe.doe.gov/news/techlines/2005/tl_seca_delphi.html <http://www.fe.doe.gov/news/techlines/2005/tl_seca_delphi.html>=20 =20 Northern Power Awarded NYPA Contract for Fuel Cell System. Distributed Energy Systems Corporation subsidiary Northern Power Systems has been awarded a master implementation contract by the New York Power Authority (NYPA) to design, engineer and install distributed generation (DG) projects at various NYPA customer sites over the next three years.

Ontario is also providing $8 million in funding, over four years, to create a new Centre of Excellence for Energy. The Centre of Excellence for Energy will further the government's innovation agenda by encouraging research and development into leading edge and emerging energy sources and technology. http://www.fuelcells.2ontario.com/news1.html http://www.fuelcells.2ontario.com/news2.html =20 University of Michigan Develop Microfabrication Production Methods. University of Michigan (U-M) researchers are developing ways that could produce fuel cells at a fraction of the current cost by using microfabrication rather than traditional manufacturing processes. Microfabrication is the creation of physical structures, devices or composite materials whose component parts are sized around 1 micrometer. Using these lower-cost manufacturing methods, combined with less expensive materials, U-M scientists hope to reduce the cost of fuel cells from nearly $10,000 per kilowatt to less than $1,000 per kilowatt. http://www.umich.edu/news/index.html?Releases/2005/Jan05/r011805a =20 CONFERENCES =20 For a complete list of conferences, please go to http://www.fuelcells.org/news/conf.html. =20 Asia Power 2005.=20 Asia Power 2005 will be held March 1-3, 2005, at the Grand Hyatt Hotel in Singapore.
