set nine world records using an adapted version of the 60litre 12cylinder engine taken from the bmw 760i the aerodynamically efficient carbon fibrebodied h2r posted the results following one intensive day of testing at the miramas proving ground in the south pf france hydrogen car sets 9 world records bmw has heralded the age of the hydro genpowered production car by setting nine world records with its groundbreaking h2r record car using an adapted version of the 60litre 12cylinder engine taken from the bmw 760i the aerodynamically efficient carbon fibrebodied h2r posted the results follow ing

of the record attempts the h2r remained in hydrogenonly mode for the duration the h2r was the ideal test bed for the forthcoming hydrogenpowered 7 series as it pushed the envelope of what had previ ously beeri thought possible with such a dual fuel vehicle however some significant changes had to be madeto the engine in the standard 760i to make a hydrogenpowered one viable unlike the petrol engine where fuel is injected directly into the combustion cham bers the injection valves on the hybrid car areintegrated into the inlet manifolds the different combustion characteristics of a hydrogenpowered car demanded this along with special valves an aircooling process for each cylinder designed to pre vent the next injection of hydrogenair mix from igniting too soon in the combustion process because of the higher temperature generated by burning hydrogen was also devised the engine technology in the h2r record car enables delivery of 232bhp and a zero to 62mph time of six seconds with a top speed of 18762mph we had just 10 months to develop the h2r prototype said jurgen kubler h2r project manager but the great results have now proved the level of performance possi ble from a hydrogenpowered car and the launch of the worlds first dual fuel version of the current generation 7 series will follow in due course canadian hydrogen fuel projects the hon joseph volpe minister of human resources and skills development announced funding for six projects that help move canada closer to realizing the future of clean energy an era powered by hydrogen minister volpe made the announcements at the hydrogen and fuel cells 2004 conference and trade show canada is a leader in the development of innovative green energy technology and these projects demonstrate canadas commitment to the use of cleaner sources of energy said min ister volpe through the use of hydrogen and fuelcell technologies we can lower green house gas emissions and help curb climate change the six projects will receive funding totalling more than 22 million from nrcans canadian transportation fuel cell alliance ctfca the projects are as follows 547173 to support the hydrogen village located in the greater toronto area which deploys and demonstrates hydrogen and fuel cell technologies 404094 for integrating material and sys tems at a hydrogen fuelling station in vancou ver 945900 for developing and demonstrat ing a hydrogen storage tower at the station mentioned above 300826 to demonstrate hydrogen fuelling for shuttle buses in toronto and ottawa ontario and in charlottetown prince edward island 8000 for a study of smallscale hydrogen production options in alberta 27410 to determine the parameters of the whistler portion of the hydrogen highway the ctfca is an nrcan initiative estab lished in 2001 to demonstrate and evaluate var ious options for providing the hydrogen to power fuelcell vehicles in canada investments in hydrogen and fuelcell tech nologies are helping canada reduce green house gas ghg emissions that cause climate change as well as build a more innovative effi cient and sustainable economy poised for future growth no downpayment no interest
