Millennium Cell and Peugeot Report FCV Next Phase

January 25, 2004 by Jeff Shepard

Millennium Cell Inc. (Eatontown, NJ), a technology development company that has created a proprietary process to safely store, generate and deliver pure hydrogen, and European automaker PSA Peugeot Citroen announced that they will work together to enhance the Millennium Cell Hydrogen-on-Demand™ fuel system in the fuel cell concept vehicle H2O, introduced at the 2002 Paris Auto Show.

PSA Peugeot Citroen has two Hydrogen-on-Demand™ systems, which were provided in the first phase of a working agreement between the two companies to test the systems for use in electric-powered vehicles. Successful validation of the Hydrogen-on-Demand™ fuel system concept for range extension led to the second phase of development. Included in the multi-phase program will be studies of on-board and off-board fuel and borate management based on more concentrated forms of sodium-borohydride fuel, followed by a prototype system to validate the new concepts.
