The UKM Hydrogen Fuel Cell Car is a golf cart powered by a UKM-designed and built 3 kW Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cell (PEMFC) using hydrogen energy developed by the Fuel Cell Institute UKM.
The UKM Hydrogen Fuel Cell Car is:
Very environmental friendly
Zero emission
High energy efficiency of 50% (cf. normal car engine 30%)
High power density
Small and easy to manufacture
Lighter than the replaced battery (25% of Battery weight)
Smaller space than replaced battery (75% of battery space)
UKM short for Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia is the National University of Malaysia
The Fuel Cell institute was founded in 2006 after more than 12 years of fuel cell and hydrogen energy research in UKM.
Now Institute fields of research are:
Fuel Cell Process System Engineering
