USFCC to Showcase Fuel Cell Vehicle, Technology, at Fuel Cell & Hydrogen Pavilion: 2006 SAE World Congress - April 3-6, 2006.WASHINGTON -- The US Fuel Cell Council (USFCC USFCC United States Fuel Cell Council ) has teamed up with the California Fuel Cell Partnership The California Fuel Cell Partnership is a public-private partnership to promote hydrogen vehicles (including cars and buses) in California. It is notable as one of the first initiatives for that purpose undertaken in the United States. to host the third annual Fuel Cell & Hydrogen Pavilion at the 2006 World Congress of the Society of Automotive Engineers SAE International (SAE) is a professional organization for mobility engineering professionals in aerospace, automotive and the commercial vehicle industries. The Society is a standards development organization for the engineering of powered vehicles of all kinds, including (SAE). The Pavilion will showcase a fuel cell vehicle along with products and equipment from several OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) The rebranding of equipment and selling it. The term initially referred to the company that made the products (the "original" manufacturer), but eventually became widely used to refer to the organization that buys the products and and supplier members, including DaimlerChrysler, Ballard Power Systems Ballard Power Systems (TSX: BLD, NASDAQ: BLDP), located in Burnaby, British Columbia -- a suburb of Vancouver -- is a company that designs, develops, and manufactures zero emission proton-exchange-membrane fuel cells. , Delphi Corporation, Gore Fuel Cell Technologies, and Nuvera Fuel Cells. Expert staff from the companies and sponsoring associations will be on hand to answer questions. Brochures and demonstration pieces from many of 120 plus USFCC members will be available. This is the third year the US Fuel Cell Council has partnered with the CaFCP. Last year's pavilion showcased OEM vehicles. This year's focus is on technologies, communications, and testing. OEMs, suppliers and fuel cell manufacturers within the USFCC's Transportation and Materials & Components Working Groups along with its Joint Hydrogen Quality Task Force have produced critically needed technical documents that has established common ground and charted a path forward to commercialization of fuel cell technology. What: 2006 SAE World Congress, Detroit When: April 3-6, 2006 Where: Booth # 1101, Cobo Hall "With gasoline prices projected to reach $3 a gallon by summer, the focus on fuel cells is not merely timely, but necessary," said Robert Rose For the Nevada politician and judge, see Robert E.

"Fuel cells can reduce reliance on imported oil and take the automobile out of the environmental debate. Hundreds of buses, cars, and off-road vehicles off-road vehicle off n → véhicule m tout-terrain and dozens hydrogen fueling facilities are proving feasibility around the world today. Here in the US, the industry has launched pre-commercial fleet demonstrations, aiming for commercial readiness in the next decade." The SAE World Congress is the largest Original Equipment service, parts, and components exhibition in the world. With more than 120 members, the US Fuel Cell Council is the voice of the fuel cell industry. For more information on USFCC, visit www.usfcc.com. |
