Daimler Benz: 1997 Predictionon Fuel Cell Vehicles

• Daimler Benz Boldly predicted inSeptember 1997 that sales of itshybrid-electric fuel-cell cars willhit 100,000 by the year 2004 andthat it will capture "well over" 50percent of the fuel-cell vehicle

• Some say 40,000 light-duty FCVsby 2010 from all manufacturersmay be optimistic

• Cost and infrastructurechallenges remain significant

"We don't really see fuel cell vehiclesmaking significant inroads into themarket for 10 years, and it may take20 years."

-- Tomohiko Kawanabe, Director ofHonda's Tochigi Research andDevelopment Centre -- September,2000

Australia Passenger Ferry


For the Riders or theContributors?

• Why should a commuter ferry operatorconsider alternative fuels?

• Santa Barbara MTD has largest electricbus fleet in country. SunLine Transit has100% CNG bus fleet.

• 5-10% of residents actually ride the buses• 70-80% have favorable impression of the

buses and the transit property• Everyone pays


Portfolio Diversification

• Are all your investments in stocks?• Energy diversity = greater economic

security• Diversified fuel supplies can lead to

competitive advantages• Should national, state, or regional

economies be dependent upon OPEC’sdecisions?


Future Work

• Public health benefits of clean marinetechnology significant

• Renewed need for energy independence• Rapid pace of clean marine technology likely

to mirror pace of on-road vehicle technology• Additional development and demonstrations

needed• Appropriate role for federal research,

development, and demonstration funding
