Ford recently unveiled its Airstream Concept vehicle, a plug-in hybrid elec= tric vehicle that utilizes a hydrogen fuel cell to recharge the lithium-ion= battery while the car is on the road. The vehicle's HySeries Drive(tm) po= wertrain features a Ballard fuel cell and begins operating after 25 miles. = The vehicle can then travel another 280 miles on the 4.5 kg of hydrogen st= ored for use in the fuel cell. The HySeries Drive(tm) powertrain is alread= y on the road and driving in a Ford Edge prototype, achieving a combined ci= ty/highway equivalent fuel economy of 41 miles per gallon.=20 http://media.ford.com/newsroom/release_display.cfm?release=3D25147 =20 DaimlerChrysler Introduces Fuel Cell-Powered Fire Response Vehicle. DaimlerChrysler has introduced the first fuel cell-powered fire response ve= hicle that will be operated by the Sacramento Metropolitan Fire District in= California. The Fire Service Mercedes-Benz F-Cell has a range of approxi= mately 100 miles and a top speed of 85 mph. The electric motor develops 88 = hp (65 kW), enabling acceleration from 0 to 60 mph in 16 seconds. The fuel = cell stack has been developed by Ballard Power Systems. The vehicle will b= e refueled at a BP Energy hydrogen fueling station located at the Californi= a Fuel Cell Partnership. http://www.greencarcongress.com/2007/01/daimlerchrysler_3.html =20 Hydrogenics and LiftOne Receive Award for Forklifts.
