Ford Focus Fuel Cell Electric Cars

Since 2005, the Vancouver Fuel Cell Vehicle Program has assessed the performance of five Ford Focus fuel cell cars operating in "real world" conditions.

Recently extended to 2010, this initiative has provided valuable information on vehicle durability, reliability and performance to enable the evaluation and improvement of system performance. It is also helping facilitate international codes and standards development and other activities critical to preparing the market for a clean-energy future. During the program, over 320,000 road kilometres have been collected by users including the City of Vancouver, BC Transit, BC Hydro, the National Research Council, and the Automotive Fuel Cell Cooperation.
