  11. Toward Hydrogen Mobility The Fiat Road-Map on FCV IMPROVEMENTS EXPECTED ON FUEL CELL POWERTRAIN (2006-2010)

  12. NEXT STEP: Improving FC Vehicles(2006-2010) • CRF Research Activities are addressing the following priorities: • Fuel Cell tecnologies for improved efficiency (>50%), extended performances • (-30°C--+50°C ambient, 5000 hrs duration) and lower Cost: • - New hydrogen recirculation circuits • - Simplified humidification techniques • - High temperature membrane (>90°C) • - Cooling circuit and materials for low temperature operation (-30°C) • - On board diagnosis for enhanced Safety • - New generation, high-voltage low-cost Stacks with simplified design, • improved catalytic materials and automated assembly • Standardisation of Components and subsystems for applications both to Cars and Buses.

  13. Toward Hydrogen Mobility The Fiat Road-Map on FCV HYDROGEN SAFETY

  14. Hydrogen Vehicles Safety • User Expectations for Hydrogen Vehicles : • No additional tasks or responsibility during vehicle lifecycle, e.g. refuelling or maintenance • No additional costs, including maintenance and repair • Safety levels equal or better of current vehicles

  15. HYDROGEN VEHICLES Safety • Priority Investigation Areas • H2 Leakage Detection and Recovery during Vehicle Refuelling, Stationary and Dynamic Operation. • Improved high pressure H2 Storage; integrity status & performance monitoring. • Crashworthinessof hydrogen components • Automated Emergency interventions, e.g. Hydrogen discharge in case of crash, fire-explosion risk • Passive mitigation engineering measures to protect occupants and surroundings from disruptive events • such as explosion and fire • Other Issues • Electrical shock prevention. • The Approach includes the development of comprehensive sensing,diagnostics and control technologies, the adoption of engineering based on best practices and consistent experimental data base, exhaustive test and analysis procedures. • SOLUTIONS MUST BE RELIABLE, SIMPLE AND COST EFFECTIVE • to increase public confidence on Hydrogen safetyand reliability • “better than current vehicles”
