We wanted something that was really affordable. The fuel cell looked great: one-tenth as many moving parts and a fuel-cell propulsion system as an internal combustion engine — and it emits just water. And we wanted to take advantage of Moore's Law with electronic controls and software, and we absolutely wanted our car to be connected. So we embarked upon the reinvention around an electrochemical engine the fuel cell, hydrogen as the energy carrier. First was Autonomy. Autonomy really set the vision for where we wanted to head. We embodied all of the key components of a fuel cell propulsion system. We then had Autonomy drivable with Hy-Wire, and we showed Hy-Wire here at this conference last year. Hy-Wire is the world's first drivable fuel cell, and we have followed up that now with Sequel. And Sequel truly is a real car.
我們需要的是人們能夠買(mǎi)得起的汽車(chē)。燃料電池似乎不錯(cuò)，只有其他許多移動(dòng)部件的十分之一大，并且燃料電池推進(jìn)系統(tǒng)作為內(nèi)燃機(jī)——僅僅釋放出水而已。我們想利用摩爾定律來(lái)解釋電子控制系統(tǒng)和軟件方面的更新，同時(shí)我們也希望車(chē)輛之間能互通聯(lián)系。所以我開(kāi)始著手改造電化學(xué)發(fā)動(dòng)機(jī)里的燃料電池，使氫作為能源載體。最初，通用汽車(chē)研發(fā)出的是一款名為Autonomy的概念車(chē)。它奠定了通用汽車(chē)之后的發(fā)展方向。對(duì)于燃料電池推進(jìn)系統(tǒng)的設(shè)計(jì)，我們整合了所有關(guān)鍵性的元素。之后，我們?cè)诳沈?qū)使的Autonomy 中融入氫燃料驅(qū)動(dòng)一線傳操控技術(shù)。去年的這個(gè)研討會(huì)上曾展出過(guò)氫燃料驅(qū)動(dòng)一線傳操控技術(shù)。它是世界上第一款可駕駛的燃料電池汽車(chē)。在 Autonomy和Hy-Wire之后，現(xiàn)在我們又帶來(lái)最新一代的氫燃料電池車(chē)Sequel。Sequel是輛真正意義上的汽車(chē)，而非概念車(chē)。
But the real key question I'm sure that's on your mind: where's the hydrogen going to come from? And secondly, when are these kinds of cars going to be available? So let me talk about hydrogen first. The beauty of hydrogen is it can come from so many different sources: it can come from fossil fuels, it can come from any way that you can create electricity, including renewables. And it can come from biofuels. And that's quite exciting. The vision here is to have each local community play to its natural strength in creating the hydrogen. A lot of hydrogen's produced today in the world. It's produced to get sulphur out of gasoline — which I find is somewhat ironic. It's produced in the fertilizer industry; it's produced in the chemical manufacturing industry. That hydrogen's being made because there's a good business reason for its use. But it tells us that we know how to create it, we know how to create it cost effectively, we know how to handle it safely.
但我敢肯定縈繞在你們腦海中的一個(gè)關(guān)鍵問(wèn)題是：氫氣從何而來(lái)？這種燃料電池汽車(chē)什么時(shí)候能真正面世？我先談?wù)剼錃獍伞錃獾钠婷钪幵谟谒鼇?lái)源豐富：石油、任何能產(chǎn)生電能的方式，包括可再生能源。生物燃料也能產(chǎn)生氫氣。這很令人興奮。我們的愿望是每一個(gè)社區(qū)內(nèi)都能夠稀松平常地獲得氫氣。世界上每天產(chǎn)生很多氫氣。 為了將硫磺從汽油中分離，順帶就產(chǎn)生了氫氣——這讓我覺(jué)得有點(diǎn)諷刺意味。化肥工業(yè)生產(chǎn)氫氣。化學(xué)工業(yè)生產(chǎn)氫氣。生產(chǎn)氫氣是因?yàn)樗哂辛己玫慕?jīng)濟(jì)效益，但關(guān)鍵是我們知道如何生產(chǎn)氫氣，如何降低生產(chǎn)氫氣的成本，以及如何進(jìn)行安全生產(chǎn)。
