US Army Help Develop Fuel Cell Version of Ford Escape
U.S. Army National Automotive Center (NAC) awarded a contract to develop a hydrogen-fueled Ford Escape Hybrid vehicle for the U.S to Quantum Fuel Systems Technologies Worldwide, Inc.
Under the contract, Quantum will evaluate different hydrogen fuel system configurations, considering the feasibility of bi-fuel and dedicated hydrogen systems. Quantum will develop an advanced hydrogen storage system, fuel injection system, and electronic controls required for the Hydrogen Escape Hybrid. The work will be conducted by Quantum at its Advanced Vehicle Concept Center in Lake Forest, CA.
Ford already sells a hybrid version of Escape which combines a regular gasoline engine with an electric powerplant.
