Ford Focus FCV

Ford FocusThe Ford Focus FCV (Fuel Cell Vehicle) is Ford's most current hydrogen car. This is where Ford thought that there is some future lying for them as the Ford Focus FCV is where the future of the automobile industry is directed within the next 5 - 10 years.

The Ford Focus FCV is power-driven by a Ballard 902 Fuel Cell, Proton Exchange Membrane (PEM) stack. It is a bit different than other hybrid or bi-fuel vehicles. It does not run directly on hydrogen like the BMW HR2 does instead it is powered by electric motor and obtains its electricity from two sources. The first source is the fuel cell and the second the H2 car's battery pack. The car has 5000 psi pressurized hydrogen tank that discharges H2 into the fuel cell stack. Its here where the hydrogen is provisionally separated into protons and electrons, generating electricity, then combined with oxygen from the air to create the vehicle's only byproduct, water.

The car actually symbolizes Ford’s commitment to progress use and development of alternative-fuel technologies.
