The HydroGEM so far has functioned well, despite the vibrations the system is exposed to, the frequent start/stops and intentional system shut-downs. It has attracted a lot of attention, both from the public, the press as well as potential users. A list of system modifications aimed at increasing simplicity and reducing cost is drawn up. The possibilities for performing a re-design, followed by a commercialisation are being investigated. The GEM is a light weight utility vehicle, with a low top speed. Therefore, the power requirement is low. As a result, a strong synergy exists with many other low power applications for which fuel cell technology brings unique advantages. For example, the aspect of comfort may be an important issue when replacing a diesel power aggregate with a silent, odourless fuel cell system, e.g. in vehicles and other mobile platforms with a high auxiliary power demand and in recreational applications such as a mobile homes and yachts. Such unique advantages justify that the allowable price level is relatively high and these applications therefore serve as stepping stones towards the mass market of passenger cars.
