China has put great efforts into the development of state of the art hydrogen and fuel cell technologies in the past decades, and will continue to contribute to the development and demonstration of fuel cell technologies in order to pave the way for commercial application. In the first year of the 12th Five-year Economic Development Plan (2011-2015), the ministry of science and technology (MOST) has approved the budget of 738 million RMB for electric vehicle (EV) R&D, among which 21% is intended for fuel cell electric vehicle (FCEV). Additionally, MOST has also approved the budget in the area of "advanced energy technology", among which the distributed power generation system based on fuel cell has been granted investment. China carried out a large number of fuel cell vehicle demonstrations. In 2009, China began a large scale demonstration program called "25 cities-1000 vehicles" in selected cities. It was the first time that new energy vehicles were applied in the public transportation system, which also promoted the construction of hydrogen refueling facilities. The fuel cell vehicles were also used for transportation at the Exposition in Shanghai 2010, and their demonstration during the Shanghai Expo was very successful. About 196 zero emission fuel cell vehicles were used at the EXPO. During the Asian Games in Guangzhou, 60 fuel cell vehicles were running in the Athletes Village and the Media Village for demonstration. In August 2011, at the 26th World Universiade in Shenzhen, there will also be clean energy vehicles for demonstration, including fuel cell vehicles. The demonstration of new energy vehicles will continue after the World Universiade in China. To help the implementation of the Electric Vehicle Initiative (EVI), the 2011 International EV Pilot City and Industry Development Forum was held in Shanghai. Representatives from governments, pilot cities, the industry, academies and the financial sector participated in this forum. Electrical vehicles in the EV-Initiative include Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle (PHEV), all Electric Vehicles (AEV) and Fuel Cell Vehicles (FCV).
