I’ve just updated Nuvera’s Event Calendar through the remainder of the year. If you want to arrange a meeting with one of our engineers who will be attending the listed events, send me an email (or post it in the comments) and I will put you in touch!
Have a great holiday weekend!
Faithful readers, I apologize for the absence in posts these past few weeks! We have been busy wrapping up the recent Hydrogen Road Tour, talking about our new PowerTap hydrogen refueling station, and responding to DOE’s fuel cell grant solicitation for 2009 (applications due today!). And, of course, trying to enjoy the last moments of August as the temperature starts to feel like fall.
Our fall calendar kicks off with an exciting event starting in mid September called Green Italy. Green Italy is taking place in Terminal E at Logan Airport, and explores the growing collaborations of Italy and Massachusetts towards addressing the global need for sustainable practices for both our society and our environment. Nuvera will be displaying the hydrogen powered Panda Fiat, currently on loan from Regione Lombardia, Italy, that is powered by Nuvera’s Andromeda fuel cell technology.
Check back here in the next few weeks to learn more about this upcoming event. In the mean time, enjoy the rest of your summer!
Shannon Mullen, a reporter for Boston’s NPR, talked with Bill Mitchell during Monday’s exciting event, where we were able to find them a quiet (and dry!) spot to talk fuel cells, cars and what’s next for our industry.
