    • Abstract:
      The article reports on issues tackled at the 2008 Toyota Sustainable Mobility Seminar held in Portland, Oregon. Implications that Peter Wells of Neftex Petroleum Consultants Ltd. sees from his work for vehicle manufacturers is that they need to start diversifying their mix of powertrains in order to utilize other types of fuel besides that based on petroleum. Bill Reinert, national manager at Toyota Motor Sales USA points out the need for participation by energy companies for the fuel cell to become more viable.
