So it appears that someone invested 5 million dollars in reading the State of Nevada fillings.... seem to follow some of the rumors posted about the on goings in India... fuel cells production not just batteries..
A new deal reminds us that automakers haven't given up on fuel-cell tech. John Rosevear (TMFMarlowe) Jun 21, 2018 at 2:05PM German luxury-car maker Audi AG and Korean automaker Hyundai (NASDAQOTH:HYMTF) are teaming up on what could become an important electric-vehicle technology: hydrogen fuel cells.
Under the deal, the two companies -- and their affiliates, including Audi owner Volkswagen AG (NASDAQOTH:VLKAY) and Hyundai partner Kia Motors -- will license key patents to one another and share access to fuel-cell parts, including the parts that Hyundai has developed for its current fuel-cell vehicles.
Whether or not alternative fuel vehicles (AFVs) will finally find a place in the global mass-market or even will dominate the vehicle segment will depend on several success factors: reduction of customer anxiety, fast recharging, better charging infrastructure, environmental justice policies and some others. Current technological advances in battery electric vehicles and hydrogen fuelled electric vehicles could represent a hopefully option in the near future. Nevertheless, and until electric/hydrogen technological barriers are not torn down, both power architecture do not have an opportunity to be fully introduced in the vehicle market. In this paper, the authors present a powertrain architecture concept based in current fossil fuel extender range, but changing it to a hydrogen fuel cell stack system that works as range extender. The objective is to probe how optimization techniques, by the inclusion of genetic algorithms, could be a crucial help when planning the fuel consumption/selection. The paper ambition is to highlight the possibilities of this powertrain and its appropriated management to allow hydrogen become an energy carrier feasible today in the automotive world.
