California Fuel Cell Partnership Shows Fuel Cell Vehicles in San Diego at National Science Teachers Conference

    SAN DIEGO--March 28, 2002--The California Fuel Cell Partnership (www.cafcp.org), a public-private venture working to commercialize fuel cell vehicles, is demonstrating vehicles and their fuels this week at the National Science Teachers Conference in San Diego.
    On Friday, March 29 the CaFCP will conduct a Ride and Drive with fuel cell-powered vehicles from Ford and Toyota. Additionally, the CaFCP is distributing to teachers its Fuel Cell Learning Kits, designed to introduce teachers to fuel cells and guide them toward useful resources for classroom teaching.
    The CaFCP's inside exhibit includes a highly instructive Nissan fuel cell vehicle prototype raised up to reveal its components, and a hands-on Hydrogen Fueling Demonstrator, which familiarizes viewers with the fueling options for fuel cell vehicles.
    Interested teachers who sign up or attend CaFCP workshops will participate in the Ride and Drive, taking place in front of the San Diego Convention Center.
