A future of racing?

In response to my questions:

1. What would I need to buy from you to complete a conversion of a gasoline van or its equivalent?

2. And prices?

I received the following:

_______
We are not yet selling on-road conversion kits. The regulatory hurdles are too great right now.

Getting ammonia delivered to you is not a problem.
The first uses for ammonia fuel will be for converting diesel generators.

We will keep you request on file.

Thank you for your interest.

Regards,

Greg Vezina

Hydrofuel®TM Inc.

If any member has a diesel generator and is willing to experiment, this might be worth trying.

Riversimple needs more money:

https://youtu.be/A-M7y1TbVMY

They'd better hurry up because this topic is so old its starting to grow hair!

Well, they've made their first funding target; perhaps we'll see some definitive progress in the near future.

Still needs more range.

UPS Hydrogen Fleet?

http://www.greencarreports.com/news/1110240_ups-electric-van-with-fuel-cell-range-extender-to-be-tested-in-california

With as many trucks as they have, it probably makes economic sense. The cost of a hydrogen filling station allocated over many trucks in a fleet shouldn't/wouldn't(?) be that much additional cost.

Good discussion on the energy inefficiency, high emissions, high fuel costs, etc., of FCEVs.
