The vehicular applications of fuel cells are evaluated for both technical feasibility and economic potential. Four vehicle types, the city bus, highway bus, delivery van, and general-purpose consumer car are selected for evaluation. The results of computer simulations are utilized to illustrate a number of important system design considerations in configuring a fuel cell/battery electric vehicle. A fuel-cell-powered golf cart being used as an engineering test bed is described.
