recently was awarded $999,990 for a Phase II Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) from the US Department of Energy to develop ultra-lightweight hydrogen fuel tanks using carbon nanotube (CNT) reinforcement. In addition to hydrogen storage vessels, this technology can also be used in compressed natural gas tanks.

The Golf and Passat models have identical hydrogen powertrains and control software.). In 2009, we forecast that a breakthrough in hydrogen fuel cells could not be expected before the year 2020. We wanted to show you that we will be ready to launch when all of the issues related to hydrogen infrastructure have been solved.
