are by no means "new," we still have little experience with how they perform as an integrated
system in on-the-road vehicles, or with rapid, cost-effective manufacturing processes. At this
writing, government finding for advanced vehicle R&D appears once again poised for a
downturn, owing to budget cuts. PNGV has begun to define the R&D priorities for some of these
technologies, particularly for hybrid vehicles; however, it will be difficult, if not impossible, to
address these priorities and solve the many remaining problems without sustained, and even
