To realize the fuel-cell durability goals for heavy-duty applications more effectively and to accelerate the research output, M2FCT has formed a working group on the discussion and development of Accelerated Stress Testing (AST) of fuel cells and their components. Please check our ASTWG outreach page for more information on the objectives and our partners.

Million-Mile Fuel Cell Truck Consortium and their research on developing the state of hydrogen fuel-cell technology for heavy-duty vehicle applications have been highlighted in an article by Oak Ridge National Lab. 

Scientific American Article on Fuel Cell Trucks discusses the advantages of fuel cell trucks. Hydrogen fuel weighs less than electric batteries, making it an attractive option for long-haul vehicles. M2FCT researcher Adam Weber (LBNL) was also quoted in the article.

In commemoration of National Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Day, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) officially launched the Million Mile Fuel Cell Truck (­M2FCT) consortium to advance fuel cell truck R&D.

M2FCT will have Los Alamos and Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratories as co-leads. It will focus on fuel cell durability, performance, and cost to better position fuel cell trucks as a viable option in the long-haul trucking market.
