It called for two phases of work
- "leverage plans to install new hydrogen fuelling stations by 2011"
- Depending on the progress of this, a nationwide roll-out of hydrogen fuelling stations will be continued, supporting the introduction of series produced hydrogen powered vehicles in Germany around 2015.
