  • Abstract
    In this article, the structure and control of a fuel cell hybrid electric scooter for mass production are presented. The development of a zero-emission scooter can improve air quality and protect the environment, especially in Asia and Europe, where more than 25 million scooters are produced annually. The generic advantages of low-pressure hydrogen storage of the fuel-cell-powered scooter are explained, and the control strategies of the hybrid scooter are presented. Additionally, experimental verifications and discussions are presented based on a prototype system controller.
