Mission The Fuelcell Propulsion Institute facilitates commercialization of fuelcell vehicles by:
Organized as a nonprofit membership organization, the consortium has undergone exponential growth since its founding in 1996. The role of the Fuelcell Propulsion Institute is to plan a product with high commercialization potential. Actual commercialization is the responsibility of commercial partners of the development and demonstration projects operated through joint ventures with the independent company Vehicle Projects LLC.
Industry
Committees
Industry Committees provide input to the development and demonstration of fuelcell vehicles that solve health and safety problems or are more productive than existing technologies in their respective industries. Committee membership includes three types of institutions required for successful commercialization: technology developers, manufacturers, and end-users. An industry committee proposes a project that will satisfy the needs of the particular industry that it represents.
Projects The funding, organization, and execution of projects proposed by an industry committee are delegated to the joint-venture partner, Vehicle Projects LLC. The Institute then joins the project as a project partner to assure that the needs of industry are met. Click Projects to learn about the Institute’s major projects.
