Welcome to the Electric Vehicle Division of Electric Fuel

About the Electric Vehicle Division

The Electric Vehicle Divsion's mission is to bring about the deployment of commercial numbers of zero-emission zinc-air electric buses in fleets of transit systems and school districts, providing zero-emission transportation at reasonable costs.

Electric Fuel's revolutionary zinc-air fuel cell technology has been demonstrated in tens of thousands of kilometers of on-road driving in vehicles ranging in size up to 4.8 ton delivery vans in the service of European postal systems.

Phase IV of the FTA Zero emission zinc-air bus project was dedicated to exploring the steps necessary for commercializing the all-electric zinc-air/ultracapacitor hybrid bus. Milestones were successfully completed and we have seen continued improvement in our zinc-air bus performance. During the four phases of the FTA bus project since 2001 all milestones and various performance tests and on road bus demonstrations were successfully completed. We have also shown that commercially available zinc can be used in our zinc-air batteries, eliminating the need for the special zinc used to date.

And in Germany, the zinc-air electric van consortium has completed its multi-year government-funded program by successfully demonstrating the zinc-air van on-road. Consortium organizers expressed hopes that the program will lead to the future commercialization of high performance, clean electric transportation based on these technologies.

The EV program is presently inactive.
