VOLKSWAGEN New Member Of Clean Energy Partnership Volkswagen brings a Touran HyMotion to Berlin’s hydrogen fuel test fleet Volkswagen AG has joined the Clean Energy Partnership. The world’s most versatile hydrogen demonstration project for emission-free mobility with two service stations in Berlin thus welcomes a further partner and now includes 11 companies and 17 hydrogen vehicles. With immediate effect, Volkswagen AG has joined the Clean Energy Partnership (CEP). “For us, joining the CEP is a logical and important step towards the future. Our commitment further underlines our support for sustainable mobility and, at the same time, provides us with important application-related information from the demonstration project,” says Dr. Jürgen Leohold, Head of Group Research at Volkswagen AG. Volkswagen is conducting intensive research into hydrogen and fuel cells in the context of its fuel and power train strategy. Volkswagen brings a VW Touran HyMotion to the CEP passenger car fleet. The vehicle was developed at the Volkswagen Technology Center and initially underwent intensive practical testing in the USA. Tests in Berlin represent the vehicle’s premiere in Germany. “We expressly welcome the decision by Volkswagen AG to join the Clean Energy Partnership. Together with the recent participation of TOTAL, this confirms that CEP is on track for becoming the most significant European project for hydrogen-based mobility. We look forward to cooperating with a total of five automakers and welcome the further expansion of CEP’s competence in the field of hydrogen as the fuel of the future,” says Dr. Klaus Bonhoff (DaimlerChrysler), Head of CEP’s Steering Committee. Federal Ministry of Transport, Building, and Urban Affairs also welcomes the commitment of a further auto- CEP-fleet in front of the Aral/BP hydrogen service station in Berlin: (from right) VW Touran HyMotion, GM/Opel HydroGen3, Ford Focus fuel cell Hybrid, Daimler/Chrysler A-Class F-Cell, BMW 7 -Series. maker to CEP. CEP is a component of the national sustainability program and is sponsored by the Ministry as one of the leading innovation projects for emission-free mobility. With its versatility, CEP also creates the optimum basis for lighthouse projects planned under the National Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Technology Innovation Program. Clean Energy Partnership Since November 2004, the opening date for the first CEP hydrogen service station at Messedamm in Berlin, the CEP demonstration project has been carrying out sophisticated everyday operations without problems. A great deal of progress has been made since then. The experience of customers, technicians, and operators will be evaluated in 2007 and presented to the public. Clean Energy Partnership (CEP) is an international association of the following companies: Aral/BP, BMW, Berliner Verkehrsbetriebe (BVG), Daimler Chrysler, Ford, GM/Opel, Hydro, Linde, TOTAL, Vattenfall Europe, and Volkswagen AG. Its goal is to tap the technological potential of hydrogen as a source of energy, conducting tests with a view to suitability for routine use and system capability. Hydrogen demonstration project Berlin’s hydrogen demonstration project consists of the hydrogen infrastructure, including the fuelling systems, vehicle fleet, hydrogen information center, and service station for hydrogen vehicles. CEP is experimenting with three different hydrogen production methods as well as three different hydrogen propulsion systems. With two service stations and a fleet of 17 hydrogen vehicles, Berlin CEP is the largest and most complex demonstration project for future-oriented H 2-technology in the world. 14 MADE IN GERMANY NO. 5, 2006
