All main car manufacturers have developed hydrogen electrical vehicle prototypes, running on PEM fuel cells. Oil crisis, announced oil shortages, and the need to reduce CO 2 emissions, will bring new technologies into the car industry for vehicle propulsion, which will be very different from today’s ICE Oil crisis, announced oil shortages, and the need to reduce CO 2 emissions, will bring new technologies into the car industry for vehicle propulsion, which will be very different from today’s ICE Hydrogen and PEM fuel cells: SUSTAINABLE SOLUTION Hydrogen and PEM fuel cells: SUSTAINABLE SOLUTION o Hydrogen: alternative fuel to oil based fuels. Will solve environmental and supply problems, it is extremely clean and inexhaustible o PEM fuel cell: electrochemical device which transforms the hydrogen energy content into electricity
