Abstract
The P2000 Fuel Cell Electric Vehicle developed by Ford Motor
Company is the first full-performance, full-size passenger fuel
cell vehicle in the world. This development process has resulted in
a vehicle with performance that matches some of today's
vehicles powered by internal combustion engines. The powertrain in
Ford's P2000 FCEV lightweight aluminum vehicle consists of an
Ecostar electric motor/transaxle and a fuel cell system developed
with XCELLSiS-The Fuel Cell Engine Company (formerly dbb Fuel Cell
Engines, Inc.). Ballard's Mark 700 series fuel cell stack is a
main component in the fuel cell system.
To support this new FCEV, Ford has constructed the first North
American hydrogen refueling station capable of dispensing gaseous
and liquid hydrogen. On-going research and development is
progressing to optimize fuel cell vehicle performance and refueling
techniques.
