The Royal Swedish Academy of Engineering Sciences (IVA) on February 8, 1994, convened a symposium on the theme Fuel Cells for Traction Applications. The symposium presented the current position of knowledge in Europe and North America as seen by specialists in fuel cells and in related aspects of technical development of importance to future use for traction purposes. Speakers represented the United States (fuel cell basics, ongoing US programs), Sweden (requirements on the part of vehicle manufacturers), Denmark (fuel processing), Germany (systems technology), Italy (system integration in a bus concept). By means of a video tape, a real case in Canada (a fuel cell bus), was presented. A discussion on the future potential of fuel cells for traction as compared to internal combustion and electric vehicles concluded the program, taking account of environmental, technological, and industrial aspects. Separate abstracts have been prepared for five of the six technical papers presented (ERA citation 19:033412)
