Quantum Fuel Systems Technologies Worldwide, Inc., today announced that it has been awarded a contract to supply ten hydrogen hybrid Priuses to VistOrka for use in Iceland's SMART-H2 project.
The SMART-H2 (Sustainable Marine and Road Transport -- Hydrogen in Iceland) project is a supported market introduction where participants impose various demands on hydrogen technology in a variety of market applications. VistOrka's role in SMART-H2 includes leading the steering committee for the project, financing its management, subsidizing hydrogen vehicles, and providing support to follow up all parts of the project. The SMART-H2 will be one of the largest hydrogen demonstrations in the world.
The first phase of the SMART-H2 is to introduce hydrogen powered vehicles to potential customers. Wonder if I could get a truck rack put on it. Customers will buy or lease these hydrogen vehicles from VistOrka, who will also provide technical support. The first customers will be energy companies, investment funds, and Hertz car rental service. SMART-H2 will be expanded in the next phase of the project with additional hydrogen vehicles introduced in 2008-2009. read more...
