In compliance with the commission aim to guarantee a sustainable, competitive and reliable energy future to member states, the EC co-funded hydrogen and fuel cells activities throughout the last four Framework Programmes (FP). During the 5 th FP (1999-2000) the EC created the European Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Technology Platform (EHFC-TP) in order to accelerate the deployment of the technology in the European market and bring together a common platform of key public and private stakeholders. With the 7 th (2007-2013) FP‟s Joint Technology Initiative on hydrogen and fuel cells (HFC-JTI), the EC took the further step establishing the Fuel Cell and Hydrogen Joint Undertaking (FCH-JU) in 2008. This is intended to be the implementation of the EHFC-TP experience. The FCH-JU is a public-private partnership aiming to accelerate the deployment of hydrogen and fuel cell technology through a series of targeted projects, in strict connection with industry. The FCH-JU works as a long-term platform where the industry partners (represented by the Industry Group, IG), research partners (represented by the N.ERGHY association) and European Commission (JTI) meet for developing synergies (Figure 36, below).

Sources: FCH-JU Stakeholders General Assembly 2009 [JTI, 2010] The EC has co-funded through its FPs the majority of the bus demonstrations across Europe, together with local governments, associations and industry partners. The demonstrations have involved some 24 cities in over 11 countries. Europe hosted the world‟s largest (at that time) FCB demonstration, CUTE (9 European cities with 3 buses each) and its more international extension HyFleet:CUTE (7 European cities, 1 Icelandic, 1 Chinese and 1 Australian, for a total of 33 HFCBs). Besides the EC efforts, Europe is characterised by a network of public-private associations active in promoting hydrogen and fuel cell RD&D activities on regional scale. Some of the main associations are resumed below. 83
