✦ Synopsis
London where gasification facilities could possibly be located near to bus depots, and where hydrogen could be distributed by short pipelines. For more information, go to: www.hfpeurope.org or www.global-hydrogen-bus-platform.com For more on the London Hydrogen Partnership, go to: www.lhp.org.uk Veloform's new 'e-bike' uses EFOY fuel cells I n Germany, Veloform has presented details of its second-generation threewheel, electrically powered 'e-bike', at a recently held forum run by the Association of Electrical, Electronic & Information Technologies (VDE) and the Association of German Engineers (VDI).
The CityCruiser II uses commercially available EFOY fuel cells made by SFC Smart Fuel Cell. Environmentally friendly and operating silently, these not only power the engine, but also additional components such as the lights and communication equipment. Veloform says that the CityCruiser II can be operated within buildings, for example airports or exhibition halls.
Because the fuel cell continuously recharges the battery, the e-bike does not have to be charged at a power outlet, and can be used without interruption. It can draw on a fuel infrastructure successfully established by SFC for existing markets.
'Up to now, many developments have been impeded by insufficient battery power or by the lack of a hydrogen infrastructure for conventional fuel cells,' says Dr Jens Mueller, managing director of SFC. 'Our EFOY fuel cells use a liquid -easy-to-transport methanol -stored in convenient, safety cartridges, for which we have already established a working European infrastructure. This means that there are no limits to electrical vehicles any more.'
