About Company

Stuart Energy noted that HCC has partnered with automotive manufacturer and entrepreneur Carroll Shelby, through Carroll Shelby Licensing, Inc., to jointly develop a full line of H2ICE-powered vehicles that will be manufactured by Shelby and sold and serviced by HCC directly. Stuart Energy said HCC and Shelby plan to modify the engines and fuel storage systems of new and existing sport coupes, sport utility vehicles (SUVs) and pickup trucks to run on hydrogen, with production expected in 2004. "For hydrogen to be widely adopted as a replacement for fossil fuels, we must get commercial products in the hands of consumers," said Stuart Energy president and CEO Jon Slangerup. "We believe our strategic partnership with HCC will increase the demand for our innovative hydrogen infrastructure products and accelerate the mass adoption of hydrogen as a clean, safe fuel."
