Future feasibility of fuel cell projects
• Price fuel cell and hybrid system should go down
• Life time has to raise; 12,000 hours means approximately $ 2,00/km; incl. hybrid $ 3.50/km. This will never affordable to the operators.
• Lot of improvements made last years in size, costs, weight, etc. Still not enough! Maybe technology should be improved.
• Very poor infrastructure of fuelling stations for H2.
• We are running out of time! Battery developments will catch up with H2 rapidly.
