ALTERNATIVE FUELS * WORLDWIDE - Hidrogen filling stations
* Hydrogen Highway Being Built Around the World
Cardiff,UK -AutomotiveWorld -February 12, 2010: -- Hydrogen highway linked network of hydrogen filling stations for fuel cell or H2 combustion engine vehicles. Vital for market deployment of existing, future fuel cell vehicles; starting to happen around the world... Latest addition from Wales and south of England along M4 corridor. Highway from Oslo, Norway, to Stavangar covers 600 kilometers. Part of broader HyNor project w/ 7 fueling stations. Sweden, Denmark constructing elements of wider Scandinavian Hydrogen Highway Partnership to link w/ Norway... More than 30 stations in Germany and companies announced ambitious plans for major expansion by 2015. 2015 goal: 20 operating main, 15 satellite stations supporting 100 buses, 500 cars, 500 specialty vehicles... In America: Canada - Highway goes from Victoria to Whistler, BC, covering 180 kilometers; used by fuel cell buses of BC Transit... Most developed network in CAL wtih two major clusters around Los Angeles and San Francisco to Sacramento. There are more than 25 refueling stations in CA... 12 stations in Japan sited within 11 cities, although they do not really comprise highway system yet... In South Korea 10 stations operational at end of 2009 are to be augmented by a further 10 in 2010... (Image from h2carblog: Shell hydrogen fueling station -USA-) 
* UK - Hydrogen-powered vans go on trial...and sale
London,UK -Fleet News -19 February 201o: -- The Royal Mail is to trial Ford Transit vans powered by hydrogen-fuelled internal combustion engines... The two vans, built by specialist engineering firm Revolve, will be taking part in a six-month trial at Stornaway in Scotland, after being purchased by Cenex, the Centre of Excellence for Low Carbon and Fuel-Cell Technologies... The vans, based on the 2.3-litre petrol variant, have a supercharger added, while either two or three hydrogen tanks are fitted under the load-floor so not impacting on cargo space... The vans have a range of about 85 miles but also retain the original petrol tank, so won’t be left stranded... (Photo from gizmag: A Ford Transit van)
