Fuel cells represent a developing technology which could potentially replace the internal combustion engine in all areas of ground transportation including passenger cars, trucks, buses, and trains. Fuel cells operate with significantly higher fuel efficiency and greatly reduced emissions compared with internal combustion engines. Fuel cells are capable of running on hydrogen, methanol, natural gas, or other hydrocarbon fuels. Thus, fuel cell vehicles could have a major impact on reducing petroleum consumption and on improving air quality in urban areas. This paper provides an update on the status of the U.S. Department of Energy (USDOE) programs directed at the development of fuel cell propulsion systems for light-duty and heavy-duty applications.
