FUEL CELL-ELECTRIC PROPULSION TEST RIG (MODIFIED M-37, 3/4-TON CARGO TRUCK)

Abstract

This report covers a study to determine experimentally the feasibility and practicability of a fuel cell and electric drive propulsion system. The experimental data were obtained by testing the fuel cell test rig components and system. The report concludes that: The fuel cell and electric drive are feasible; the fuel cell-electric propulsion system performs satisfactorily; the use of a fuel cell as compared with other power plants such as a battery does not pose additional electrical problems; major technical advances are required.
