Hoku Scientific, Inc. has been awarded a new contract by Nissan Motor Co., Ltd. to develop advanced hydrocarbon-based membranes and MEAs for Nissan’s fuel cell cars and trucks.
Dustin Shindo, chairman, president and CEO of Hoku Scientific said, “Nissan has shown a strong commitment to developing fuel cell cars and trucks, and this new contract demonstrates the strength of our continuing relationship with Nissan. We have successfully worked together since March 2004, meeting all technical goals on time, on budget and as expected. We are excited by this next step towards integrating Hoku MEA into Nissan’s fuel cell cars and trucks.”
Although the contract was signed in February, Hoku and Nissan have been working together to meet the contract goals since January 1, 2006, and the companies will conduct joint testing of newer versions of Hoku Membrane and Hoku MEA at Hoku’s facility in Kapolei, Hawaii, and at Nissan’s facility in Oppama, Japan, through September 30, 2006.
