CLEAN CITIES QUESTION OF THE MONTH What are the latest updates on hydrogen and fuel cell electric vehicle deployment?

Answer: Fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEVs) have been around for a while, mostly in limited quantities and locations through demonstration projects. But these vehicles, with their potential to significantly cut petroleum consumption and reduce emissions, are starting to make their way into dealerships and onto roads across the country.

Though the market for FCEVs is still in its infancy, many government organizations and private companies are working on research and deployment efforts to make hydrogen a widespread, viable, affordable, and safe alternative vehicle fuel.

E85 STATION PROMOTIONS Flex fuel vehicle owners can fill up with E85 for just $0.85/ gallon at participating Cenex stations this summer! The events are supported by United Cooperative, The American Lung Association in Wisconsin Clean Air Choice速 program, the Wisconsin Corn Growers Association, the Wisconsin Corn Promotion Board, and Wisconsin Clean Cities.

Between 11:30am - 1:30pm on the dates and locations listed, flex fuel vehicle drivers will be allowed a maximum of 20 gallons/person at the discounted price.
