Testing of Hydrogen Cars in Rovaniemi

Fuel cell cars testing in cold climate and winter conditions with a new hydrogen filling station, new regions and new international automobile partners. Refuelling infrastructure build-up is ready for winter 2011–2012 in Rovaniemi.

BEV
All-Battery Electric Vehicles

A typical Battery Electric Vehicle (BEV) is powered entirely by electricity from the utility grid. Current Battery Electric Vehicles have a range of 80 to100 miles or more. Because the batteries are recharged from the utility grid and from regenerative braking to power an electric motor to propel the vehicle, BEVs produce no tailpipe emissions.

PHEV
Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicles

"Plug-in hybrid electric vehicles," like all electric drive vehicles, use electricity to move vehicle’s wheels. Some, or all, of that electricity comes from the grid from "plugging in."

FCEV
Fuel Cell Electric Vehicles

A fuel cell combines hydrogen fuel and oxygen to produce electricity used to power an electric motor that moves the vehicle. The only exhaust is water. A number of fuel cell powered electric vehicles are on the roads worldwide, including passenger cars, delivery trucks, buses and military vehicles. Researchers are working to bring down fuel cell and related component costs and to improve durability to enable full commercialization.
