PDC Machines appreciate the opportunity to provide comments to the
California Air Resources Board (ARB) regarding Volkswagen Group of
America’s California Zero Emission Vehicle (ZEV) Investment Plan:
Cycle 1  (“Plan”).

We urge ARB to postpone approval of the submitted plan, and to work
with Volkswagen to amend the Plan to include HFS investment and a
clear role for FCV in ZEV awareness and access programs. This will
help grow consumer interest in all ZEV technologies and help
improve station access and customer refueling experience.

The Volkswagen Investment Plan issued on March 8, 2017 allocated a
total funding of $200,000,000 with none of this amount going toward
hydrogen and fuel cell infrastructure and vehicle deployment. 
Accordingly, PDC Machines supports the comments issued by the
Hydrogen Business Council, NEL Hydrogen, and the Fuel Cell Hydrogen
Energy Association on April 7th 2017.

PDC urges ARB to postpone approval of the submitted plan, and to
work with Volkswagen to amend the Plan to include HFS investment
and a clear role for FCV in ZEV awareness and access programs.
Taking these common-sense actions will help grow consumer interest
in all ZEV technologies and help improve station access and
customer refueling experience
