The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) initiated the Controlled Hydrogen Fleet and Infrastructure Demonstration and Validation Project through a competitive solicitation process in 2003. The purpose of this project is to conduct an integrated field validation that simultaneously examines the performance of fuel cell vehicles and the supporting hydrogen infrastructure. Insights from the vehicles and infrastructure study will be fed back into DOEs research and development program to guide and refocus future research, making this project a learning demonstration. Five teams were selected and four cooperative agreements between DOE and industry partners have been awarded and commenced. These four cooperative agreements will ultimately support more than 130 fuel cell vehicles, which will be validated on-road, as well as more than 25 hydrogen refueling stations. Fifty-nine first-generation vehicles have already entered into service with customers, and several new hydrogen refueling stations have opened, with more vehicles and stations planned. Lessons learned from this project on the interrelationship between the vehicles and the infrastructure will influence ongoing development of codes and standards. The auto industry and the energy companies are strongly committed to this project, and the governments investment in this project is matched by each industry team.
