Big break through in bringing down the cost of FCV's - extract

JOHANNESBURG (miningweekly.com) – German car manufacturer Daimler has cut the platinum loading of its new fuel cell Mercedes to catalytic converter level.

“We reduced the amount of platinum by 90%, which provides a significant cost reduction. Our fuel cell is not much above the platinum loading of a catalytic converter on a conventional car,” Daimler fuel cell director Professor Dr Christian Mohrdieck has told cH2ange, an organisation promoting a global switch to the hydrogen economy to mitigate climate change.

Reducing the platinum loading of catalysts has for long been seen as a necessary step towards increasing the economic viability of fuel cell electric vehicles.
