Maryland to Lease Fuel Cell Vehicle

October 2004

Maryland plans to lease a hydrogen fuel cell-powered minivan from General Motors. The state would also pursue securing a hydrogen fueling station and will approach Maryland businesses and universities about building an industrial park in which all the buildings would be powered by hydrogen, said Governor Robert L. Ehrlich, Jr. The minivan will be assigned to a state agency and will run a fixed route in Prince George's County.

The state's hydrogen-related plans were announced during a Hydrogen Learning Workshop conducted on September 8 by DOE and the Maryland Energy Administration. Experts explained how fuel cells work and how hydrogen can be produced, delivered, and stored safely. More information is available from the State of Maryland.
