In the previous decade, Hepburn focused primarily on hydrogen fuel cells at Ford Motor Co. where, as senior manager, he led the rebuilding of Ford's internal fuel system efforts, culminating in a US DOE's Supertruck 3 Award, estimated at nearly $25 million, to develop a F550 fuel cell commercial vehicle fleet. With this award, Hepburn and his team engineered and developed hydrogen fuel cell and storage systems suitable for medium duty commercial vehicle application with a primary focus on meeting stringent cost and durability targets.
Hepburn has led teams in both Research & Advanced Engineering as well as Product Development at Ford. Prior to focusing on fuel cells, Jeff worked within ICE Powertrain Engineering in emission control and exhaust aftertreatment where he was responsible for the development and implementation of multiple innovations and new technologies for gas and diesel powertrains.
Jeff has a PhD in Chemical Engineering from Lehigh University and a MS in Management from Wayne State. He's also been awarded more than 50 US Patents and has authored numerous peer reviewed technical publications.
Hepburn is excited to join H2 Power Co. and advance the company's mission - to store and distribute hydrogen via innovative fueling and charging solutions safely and optimally. Hepburn hopes to achieve this by bringing eco-friendly hydrogen solutions to the public with hydrogen power.
"Being part of the innovation surrounding hydrogen and fuel-cell technology is my favorite part of the job," says Hepburn.
