Question 1:
What were the first models of fuel cell vehicles developed in Asia, Europe and North America? What were the specifications of these vehicles? Compare them to the specifications of the current model.
Fuel cell vehicle: Fuel cell vehicle also called Fuel cell electric vehicle working with fuel cell technology which is feed from oxygen from the air and compressed hydrogen from storage system which produces suffiecient electric energy for drive trian.
Europe:
The first fuel cell powered vehicle was produced by General Motors (GM) in 1966, named GMC Electrovan
Asia and North America
In 2002, Toyota launched the world’s first limited leasing of its fuel cell hybrid vehicle (called FCHV) in the USA and Japan
Current Model :
As per 9th march 2021, TOYOTA MIRAI is the latest or current advanced model of FCEV.
Year Automaker Model Engine
| Year | AutoMaker | Model | Engine | Fc power | Range | Maxpower | |||
| 1966 | General Motor | ElectroVan | Fuelcell | 32Kw | 120 miles | 160 kW | |||
| 2002 | Toyota | FCHV | Fuelcell+batetry | 90kW | 180miles | 96 kW | |||
| 2021 | Toyota | Mirai | Fuel cell+battery | 136 Kw | 402 Miles | 150 kW |
Question 2:
Show the trend of cost in USD per kW of fuel cell production in the past and the prediction of the cost in the future. What are the probable reasons for the improvement?

Probable reasons for the improvement
1. Engineering technology become cheaper interms of material, well to wheel of platinum, hydrogen
2. If the usage of FCEVs increases the production will reduce as with the over all system cost will come down.
