Ascend Energy and Atrex Energy demo tubular SOFC electric ATV, fueled by natural gas

Green Car Congress

ATVs are in common use in California farms, ranches and orchards as a utility vehicle but the gasoline-fueled versions make a significant contribution to poor air quality in the farm regions of the state. The demonstration also showed the vehicle could be the most economical form of a fuel cell hybrid in terms of fuel cost.
