12/ When will we see hydrogen-powered cars?

There are two ways in which Fuel Cells can be used in cars: to power the vehicle and to supply electricity to on�board systems (air conditioning, electronic appliances, comfort) with what is referred to as an Auxiliary Power Unit (APU).
For information regarding vehicle propulsion, please see to the relevant Axane link list.
As concerns APUs, Axane is now working on the installation of the Auxipac system in vehicles.
