Fuel cell cars championed as eco option

Official notes the vehicles have zero emissions, are long-range, quick to refuel

China should make fuel cell vehicles a highlight of its new energy vehicle campaign, which currently consists primarily of battery electric vehicles and plug-in hybrids, according to a senior official.

"FCVs should be included as a new focus, as they boast such features as zero emissions, long driving ranges and short refueling times," said Wan Gang, vice-chairman of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, in an article in the People's Daily on Saturday.
