USFCC/NHA to Hold Webcon to Address DOT Report
Karen Hall, National Hydrogen Association
During November 2007, the DOT Federal Motor carrier Safety Administration released the report: Changes to Consider in the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations and North American Standard Inspection Procedures to Accommodate Hydrogen as an Alternative Fuel: Final Report.
The objectives of the report are to: (1) provide a review of existing Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations with respect to changes that should be considered to accommodate commercial vehicles that use hydrogen as a fuel; and (2) provide a review of the existing North American Standard Inspection Procedures and identify changes to the procedures that should be considered for inspections of commercial vehicles using hydrogen as a fuel.
The website for the document is: http://www.trb.org/news/blurb_detail.asp?id=8934
The USFCC and NHA have set up a webinar to allow interested parties an opportunity to discuss the report and determine any hydrogen and fuel cell community reaction to the report.
The webinar is tentatively scheduled to be conducted Monday, June 30th at 3:00 pm EDT.
Interested parties are requested to contact Robert Wichert at the USFCC or Karen Hall at the NHA to register interest.
