Abstract
An overview of GM/Opel's hydrogen fuel cell vehicles is presented. Three vehicle generations have been put into operation within the past four years, and valuable practical experience has been gained. GM/Opel's development targets are today shifting from pure performance optimisation to more varied aims, including reliability and durability considerations. Increased attention is also being paid to the fuel storage factor, which is a major issue for hydrogen cars.

## Abstract Fuel cell vehicle simulation is one method for systematic and fast investigation of the different vehicle options (fuel choice, hybridization, reformer technologies). However, a sufficient modeling program, capable of modeling the different design options, is not available today. Modern
In this paper, the performance and durability of hybrid PEM fuel cell vehicles are investigated. To that end, a hybrid predictive controller is proposed to improve battery performance and to avoid fuel cell and battery degradation. Such controller deals with this complex control problem by handling
## Abstract Main motivation for the use of a polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) in traffic applications is its significant higher vehicle efficiency compared to internal combustion engines (ICE) especially under lowโload operation. Hydrogen is the ideal fuel for PEMFCs as it yields the
