Hydrogen Fuel Cell Bus Technology State of the Art Review
Q5
Which circumstances would favour the achievement of the more aggressive cost targets
stated in Q1 in the next 5 - 10 years? For Example:
Long term purchase commitments
Long term contract for components replacement (e.g. 5, 10 years contract)
Carbon price in the transport sector (e.g. EU-ETS)
Other
Would demand-aggregation mechanisms help in achieving cost reduction?
Which aggregation mechanism would you envisage as effective? For example:
Q6
Aggregated demand of identical buses;
Aggregated demand of single components, not necessary mounted in
same buses;
Other.
Would demonstrations of 50 buses or more help in achieving the cost targets (Table
2)? What is the optimal demonstration scale that would allow relevant costs
reductions?
What characteristics should demonstrations possess in order to be effective in
ensuring cost reduction? For example:
Would the presence of more than one competitor/manufacturer help or
hinder cost reductions?
What would be the ideal duration of a demonstration?
Would a geographically dispersed demonstration help or hinder cost
reductions?
Other relevant aspects?
