Private Vehicles

A Texas Commission on Environmental Quality grant makes the H2@Scale hydrogen fuelers available for private fuel cell vehicle owners to be filled by UT researchers. The project has fueled two Hyundai Nexos.  One driver provides mileage data, and has logged 4153 miles on 75.5 kg-H2, for a fuel economy of 55 mi/kg-H2.
