Truck APUs (Auxiliary Power Units)
A major source of Ohio air pollutionIdling trucks consume 860 million
gallons of fuel per year!Fuel cells can reduce truck idling
fuel consumption from 1 gal/hr to 0.2 gal/hr or 688 million gallons.
Long-haul trucks idle about 1,500 hours per year
Fuel cells can save 1100 gal/year @ $3/gal = $3,300
A $1B market opportunity

The mere co-location of companies, suppliers, and institutions creates the potential for economic value;
it does not necessarily ensure its realization (Porter 1998)

Who Can Define a New Industry Who Can Define a New Industry ……“Systems Commercialization” companies can define an emerging industry:
As systems integrators they:Specify materialsSelect componentsSpecify methods of Manufacture Select suppliers
As commercializers of systems theyControl marketing strategiesPrioritize market segments and locationsTarget market entry applications/customersChoose strategic partners
Since none of this knowledge is published or available to the public, supply chain and service companies can only respondto specifications
Opportunity: the fuel cell industry is now being defined bysystems commercialization companies (like TMI). Regional clusters do not yet exist and can still be “seeded.”

A Technology Model to Create New Ohio IndustryA Technology Model to Create New Ohio Industry
Build a portfolio of “systems commercialization” companies, meeting the following criteria:
Proprietary “Platform Technology”Product prototype at or near field demonstration/test Utilizing regional manufacturing capability and workforceCorporate management
In OhioWith relevant (systems commercialization) experience
Showcase “do-learn-make-sell” applications of platform technology Form 2-3 unique Ohio examples
Different end user customersDifferent distribution channels
Maximize use of Ohio supply chain and workforceCompetitive in world markets
Intentionally organize clusters as building blocks for a “new industry”With multiple growth trajectoriesServing multiple global marketsWhich is unique in the world
