In keeping with its proactive position in the area of alternative fuels, Ford Motor Company has designed and developed the first North American OEM, production feasible, hydrogen-fueled ICE vehicle. This vehicle, the H2ICE P2000, incorporates a custom hydrogen fuel supply system, an integrated triple-redundant safety system, and a dedicated, optimised engine for the use of hydrogen fuel. For a near-term approach to near zero regulated as well as CO2 emissions, the P2000 demonstrates a practical, low-cost, lightweight, compact-package with significant improvement in fuel efficiency. It could serve as a stepping-stone in driving the establishment of a hydrogen infrastructure, which would be required for widespread introduction of fuel cell vehicles. Future development efforts could comprise additional control strategy refinement on the P2000 that should reduce engine out NO(X) emissions. Other recommended future work include: - Booting the air charge for torque and power recovery should be investigated to not only improve H2ICE power density, but also to deliver further efficiency improvement, hopefully without increasing NO(X) emissions.
