A study conducted to compare the technological status and the resultant potential vehicle characteristics for hydrogen- and battery-powered automobiles that could be produced from 1985 to 2000 is documented in 3 volumes. The primary objectives of the study were: the assessments of applicable energy storage and propulsion technology for the two basic vehicle types (applied to four-passenger cars); a rigorous comparison of vehicle weight, size, and usefulness versus design range; and an investigation of the relative efficiencies of expending energy from various primary sources to power the subject vehicles. Another important objective, unique to hydrogen-powered vehicles, was the assessment of the technology, logistics, and cost implications of a hydrogen production and delivery capability. This volume, Volume II, provides an introduction to the study and two major sections applicable to hydrogen-powered vehicles - the study of hydrogen production and delivery alternatives before the year 2000 and the assessment of automotive technology for hydrogen storage and use in internal combustion engines.
