Earth Week Activity: California Fuel Cell Partnership Takes Road Show To Los Angeles

This will be the first time the Partnership's fuel cell vehicles have appeared together in the southern California area.

The briefing will take place Wednesday, April 18 outside the California Science Center, adjacent to the L.A. Coliseum, beginning at 10:00 a.m. The briefing will feature a presentation about the CaFCP; an overview of fuel cell technology; and displays, including a hydrogen-generating fueling appliance.

The CaFCP is a public-private venture working together to demonstrate fuel cell electric vehicles and explore an alternative fuel infrastructure. When fueled by hydrogen, fuel cell vehicles have zero emissions - the byproduct of the reaction between hydrogen and oxygen is water and heat.

Note to TV media: betacam B-roll tape of cars and buses, fuel cells, company soundbites, and the CaFCP's West Sacramento headquarters and hydrogen fueling facility will also be available.
WHAT: Los Angeles-area Media Briefing on Fuel Cell Cars; Ride 'n Drive
WHO: California Fuel Cell Partnership - John Wallace, executive director, Ford TH!NK; Rick Cooper, CEO, XCELLSiS; Leonard Paulitz, Board Member, South Coast AQMD; Fuel Cell Vehicles and Representatives from DaimlerChrysler, Ford, Honda, and Nissan; Invited Guests and Students; Environmental Leaders

WHEN: Wednesday, April 18, 2001 -- 10:00 a.m.-11:30 a.m. (Earth Week)
WHERE: California Science Center, Los Angeles

The Partnership's headquarters facility in West Sacramento, California opened November 1, 2000 and is home to the largest concentration of fuel cell vehicles in the world. By 2003, the CaFCP plans to demonstrate at least 50 cars using hydrogen, methanol and a petroleum-based fuel, and up to 20 hydrogen-fueled buses.
