Hydrogen Fuel Cell Bus Technology State of the Art Review TOTAL BUS ~ $ 450,000 – 1,300,000 Exchange rate assumed: €1= $1.4 The total bus costs implied by this analysis seem low compared to industry estimates for 2015 costs. Can you explain this discrepancy? 124
Hydrogen Fuel Cell Bus Technology State of the Art Review B) Strategies for Effective Cost Reduction We understand that the cost of fuel cell buses is currently influenced by volume dynamics (i.e. bus orders) and by technology development through time. In performing feasibility studies for large scale demonstrations, we are separately analysing these two components in order to understand their interaction in driving the cost of buses. Q4a Would you agree with our understanding of cost dynamics? Are there factors which we should consider? Q4b Would you agree that fundamental technology development is currently the dominant element in driving fuel cell bus cost reductions? To what extent could technology improvements lower capital cost in the next 5 and 10 years? Q4c At what point would you expect volume related dynamics to become effective in reducing bus cost in the next 5 to 10 years? What type of demand would be more effective: a continuous demand of modest volumes of buses or a discontinuous demand of large volumes of buses? When would you foresee volume dynamics as dominant in driving capital cost? Can you suggest any metric through which it may be possible to quantify the volume effects? 125
