The Wayne State University Police Department in Detroit will operate a Daim= lerChrysler Mercedes F-Cell fuel cell police car on and in the immediate vi= cinity of the campus. Outfitted with a third-generation police radio, deca= ls, lights and sirens, the fuel cell-powered police car will be refueled at= NextEnergy's new hydrogen fueling station and will serve as a learning lab= oratory for students in WSU College of Engineering Alternative Energy Techn= ology, the nation's first master's-degree program in alternative energy.=20 http://cgmedia.daimlerchrysler.com/newsrelease.do;jsessionid=3DD68E087F0A80= 7BA9C39DBCD13FDB4C4E?id=3D4985&roomid=3D6 =20 ECN and Piaggio Successfully Operate Fuel Cell Scooter. Piaggio & C Spa teamed up with the Energy research Centre of the Netherland= s (ECN) and successfully tested a fully integrated hydrogen fuel cell scoot= er, the FRESCO. Although the FRESCO project officially ended in July 2005,= an additional effort was made by the project partners and University of Pi= sa to enhance the vehicle performance and effectiveness. In these tests, p= ropulsion relied completely on the fuel cell alone. http://www.ecn.nl/en/h2sf/ =20 Georgetown Selects EPRI to Lead Generation III Fuel Cell Bus Project.
