5. PARTNERSHIPS
California Fuel Cell Partnership (CaFCP)
www.cafcp.org
Formed in 1999, CaFCP is a collaborative of auto manufacturers, energy companies,
fuel cell technology companies, and government agencies. Members of CaFCP have
joined together to demonstrate fuel cell vehicles under day-to-day driving conditions. In
addition to testing the fuel cell vehicles, the CaFCP is examining fuel infrastructure
issues and beginning to prepare the California market for this new technology.
CaFCP goals for 2004 through 2007 are to:
• Facilitate members’ placement of up to 300 fuel cell cars and buses into fleets;
• Promote fuel stations to support the vehicle fleets;
• Ensure ‘common-fit’ fueling protocols;
• Prepare communities and train first responders for vehicles and fueling;
• Promote practical codes and standards;
• Enhance public awareness; and
• Exchange information and resources worldwide.
To date, 21 hydrogen fueling stations are now operable and a number of fuel cell
vehicles have been placed into fleet service within the state:
• Five Honda FCX vehicles leased to the city of Los Angeles;
• Two Honda FCX vehicles leased to the city of San Francisco;
• Two Honda FCX vehicles leased to the South Coast Air Quality Management
District;
• One Honda FCX leased to the city of Chula Vista;
• Four Honda FCX vehicles based at the Honda America facility at Torrance;
• Two Toyota Highlander Fuel Cell Hybrid Vehicles provided to the University of
California – Davis;
• Two Toyota Highlander Fuel Cell Hybrid Vehicles provided to the University of
California – Irvine;
