Iceland’s SMART-H2 project is presently one of much awaited development in the industry. The SMART-H2 Project in case you didn’t know stands for the Sustainable Marine and Road Transport. It is a sustained market introduction where participants compel a variety of demands on hydrogen technology in different market purposes. Quantum, a fully intact alternative energy group, will provide ten hybrid VistOrkas and Priuses to be used in the SMART-H2 project.

VistOrka's role in the SMART-H2 includes leading the steering committee for the project, financing its management, subsidizing hydrogen vehicles, and providing support to follow up all parts of the project. The SMART-H2 will be one of the largest hydrogen demonstrations in the world. The first stage of the project is to introduce VistOrka hydrogen powered vehicles with their technical support. The first target customers will be energy companies investment funds and the Hertz car rental service. In 2008-2009, the second stage of the SMART-H2 project will be expanded.

"The demand for Quantum's hydrogen hybrid Prius continues to grow around the world as a clean, fuel efficient alternative to petroleum fueled vehicles. We are proud to provide Quantum's OEM-quality hydrogen vehicles to Iceland's innovative SMART-H2 project," said Alan P. Niedzwiecki, the President and CEO of Quantum. "We believe that opportunities will continue to emerge to supply additional vehicles to hydrogen projects throughout North America and Europe."
