 Dow Diamond logo

Dow Chemical Company is working with Quantum Fuel Systems Technologies Worldwide to produce PHEV (plug-in electric hybrids).  This is a natural "fit" for Dow as they have a JV with Kokam to produce batteries for hybrids. 

The program converts Ford's F-150 to ..." PHEV trucks powered by Dow Kokam lithium ion battery technology, which delivers the energy and power balance required for these vehicles."Quantum Fuel Systems Technologies Worldwide Inc. logo

" ... create and deploy the first PHEV trucks – using leading battery technology ..."

Plans call for the first trucks to be available in December 2011 ... with more than 100 PHEV trucks at Dow by 2012.
