AQMD previously awarded a contract to AC Propulsion for the development and
evaluation of a plug-in hybrid electric vehicle with distributed power
generation capability using off-board natural gas and Panasonic valve-regulated
lead acid batteries. The cost to develop and evaluate the vehicle was $755,000
including contributions from Volkswagen, ARB, AQMD, AC Propulsion, and NREL.
This contract will upgrade the vehicle with high power lithium polymer batteries,
including the control system, to increase the zero emission range, improve the
performance, and reduce the total vehicle weight.
