The Case for Hydrogen Motorbikes in Vietnam
Presented by: Van Nguyen 1. Executive Summary This report is an effort to develop and provide a thorough exploration of the commercialization of hydrogen motorbikes in the Southeastern Asian country of Vietnam. This report will first strive to examine Vietnam as a potential market, and explore the political, economic, and social conditions that makes hydrogen motorbikes a unique commercializable business model in Vietnam. After a firm foundation for demand has been established regarding hydrogen technology in Vietnam, this report will then provide a high level understanding of hydrogen fuel cell technology, and its application the automotive industry. After establishing the case for the technology behind hydrogen motorbikes, we will explore some current challenges and limitations of hydrogen technology as it applies to our case. Wewill use these analysis to develop recommendations to commercialize hydrogen motorbikes in the vietnamese market. Once a thorough case has been presented, an analysis of how social media can aid in the commercialization of hydrogen based motorbikes will explored. 2. Introduction “The first experimental fuel cell was developed in the nineteenth century, and a 6 kW alkaline fuel cell in conjunction with a battery bank was used to power a small car as early as 1966, would not be until major improvements in power density were made in the 1990's that major car companies took notice” (Lin 2014) As an emerging technology, hydrogen fuel cells has been in development for a number of decades. Sponsored by various governmental grants in different countries, the use of Hydrogen fuel cells is a timetested technology that is ripe for commercialization.(Lin 2014) This report will start with examining the Vietnamese Market, and then build the case as to why Hydrogen fueled motorbikes could potentially be a profitable entry into that market. This report will then work to provide a high level understanding of hydrogen fuel cell technology, and its use in transportation. However before we drive into exploring the demand for hydrogen motorbikes in Vietnam, we will introduce the use of Stanford’s designthinking model as the main method in which we will use to formulate and develop case hydrogen fuel cells. 3. Method: Design thinking and Stanford’s 5 stage design thinking process For the purpose of developing the ideas and discussion points presented in this case, we will use design thinking, as well as specifically the incorporation of the designthinking model as developed by Stanford University. The Stanford design thinking model has five different action stages that can be exactly define as
empathize, define, ideate, prototype, and test as seen in figure one below (Plattner 2014):
Figure 1 Stanford Design School (Plattner 2014) For the empathize phase of the design thinking process above, which asks for the designer to seek to better understand their consumer, we will look at why the Vietnamese market is a favorable potential market for hydrogenmotorbikes. During the define phase of the process, the report will start to define hydrogen technology and develop exactly the term of reference that we will use hydrogen technology in our potential motorbike offerings. In the ideate phase of the process wewill look at how we would ideally implement the proposal and what characteristics our recommendations should include. In the prototype stage, wewill go deeper into the implementation plan and provide details on how the idea can be initially marketed for optimal success. In the testing phase, we will start to develop metrics that will signal whether the recommendations presented later in this report are successful as we move to implement and market the product to the Vietnamese market. 4. Empathize 4.1 Why Vietnam needs hydrogen Motorbikes (Social, Political, and Economical) Following the research and thesis of a master's level engineering student at Princeton University, Bruce Lin, who sought to develop a case for the commercialization of hydrogen motorbikes in Taiwan, we will use parallel arguments to assess social, political, and economical market conditions that make Vietnam a favorable market for Hydrogen motorbikes. (Lin 2014) 4.1.1 Social
Based on the the air quality and pollutionmeasurements for the country of Vietnam, and considering it’s two major cities Hanoi and Ho chi Minh City, we can start to see that Vietnam is currently at a crossroads.
Figure 2 Vietnamese Air quality and Pollution measurements (ACICN 2016)
Figure 3: Air quality and Pollution measurements meanings (ACICN 2016) Selling itself as the new manufacturing destination of Southeast Asia, completing directly with China and other countries in the region, Vietnam has to decide on such current pressing issues as “ Do you choose between steel or fish?” (Tuoi Tre News 2016). The direct quote above is a brief insight into Vietnam’s current social issues with pollution and industry. The background of the quote above can be briefly explain as a dialogue in a Vietnamese legal situation where a foreign entity, in this case Formosa steel, has demanded the Vietnamese people to choose between aquatic food sources or contaminated ground water supplies due to increased steel manufacturing. This case and many others similar situation forces the government of Vietnam to make decisions that will shape Vietnam social corporate responsibilities as it relates to the environment. Based on Figure 1 and Figure 2 from Aqcin, we can see that both Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City was given 51 and 72 respectively. (ACICN 2016)While these two marks are not of urgent nature and needs immediate environmental saving actions; Vietnam must consider the environmental impacts that businesses produces in the name of industrialization and profits, as it moves to increase its manufacturing. Another area of environmental concern that Vietnam must also decide on in the near future is the Vietnamese population’s dependence on high emission producing petrol fueled two stroke engine equipped motorbikes. “A single twostroke engine
produces pollution equivalent to that of 30 to 50 fourstroke automobiles. With roughly 100 million motorcycles in Asia—roughly half of them using twostroke engines—that translates into as much as 2.5 billion cars’ worth of smog.” (Discover Magazine 2016) From the quote above we can see that moving away from two stroke engines will help Vietnam manage its air quality and decrease pollution. 4.1.2. Political “Clearly, the overwhelming reason is a desire in Vietnam for closer relations with the United States in the shadow of a China that is now flexing its muscles. “No country had to do more to enter the TPP than Vietnam,” Zachary Abuza, a Washingtonbased Southeast Asia analyst, said in an interview. Such political will crystallizes “how far Vietnamese leaders are willing to go to secure a deeper economic relationship with the United States,” (Dien Luong T 2016) From a political aspect, we can see that that Vietnam, as evident from the facts above, wants to join the TTP. However one of the keys aspects that Vietnam has to improve on to join the TPP is it’s quality of corporate social governance. Corporate social governance as it relates to Vietnam is inclusive of labor conditions, governmental corporate regulations, and as well as environmental consciousness and protection. Vietnam has an obvious political benefit, enhancing its standing and partnership within the TPP, to increase its focus on increasing production standards that minimizes environmental impacts. Bymoving away from two stroke engines for motorbikes, and to alternative product such as hydrogen fuel cell motorbikes or electric powered motorbikes, Vietnam will be successful in reducing the overall impact of emission on air quality, pollution levels, and product quality. This will help Vietnam transition easier into the TTP in the near future. 4.1.2 Economical As we start to develop the case of the social and political benefit of moving away from two stroke engine equipped motorbikes, we have to examine how economically feasible a transition would be, andwhat alternatives currently exist as well as their respective pricings. Direct from themaster thesis written by Bruce Lin, we can see this difference in relative terms in figure 4 below.
Figure 4: Alternative fuel sources table from Princeton master thesis (Lin 2014) From the table above and the Lin’s master thesis, we can see the four market options, electric powered motors (Zincair hybird), regular petrol (keeping the two stroke engines), and hydrogen fuel cell options (Pure Fuel cell or hybird). (Lin 2014) As we can see from the table above, the tenyear cost of fuel for the hydrogen fuel cell options is comparatively cheaper then the electric and petrol options. (Lin 2014) The table above as explained by Bruce Lin accounts for the initial cost of each option taking into account the aggregate cost of cost ownership as it relates to fuel. Whenwe compare the longterm expected cost of hydrogen fuel cell scooters we can start to see that once an initial investment has been made to establish the needed infrastructure, Hydrogen scooters will be competitively priced against existing petrol options, which range from seven hundred dollars to four thousand dollars each. (Lin 2014)
Figure 5: Long term cost of hybrid fuel cell scooters from Princeton master thesis. (Lin 2014)
Based on the figure and information discussed above, we can see that with proper industry development and investment, hydrogen fuel motorbike can be an attractive long term option compared to Electric and traditional petrol. 5. Define 5.1 Hydrogen fuel cell technology Labeled as an emerging technology fuel cell technology has actually been in development for over two centuries. Below is a timeline of fuel cell technology.
Figure 6: timeline of the Development of Fuel Cell Technology (fuelcelltoday.com) While some emerging technologies experiences rapid commercialization and deployment, fuel cell technology can be seen as comparable to gorilla glass developed by Corning. ( Pisano 2015)As with hydrogen fuel cell technology, gorilla glass sat on Corning’s technology shelf for over 50 years before the technologywas eventually incorporated in the Apple’s iphone in 2007. ( Pisano 2015) With the extensive history of fuel cell technology, as seen above and the growing number of research within the last ten to fifteen years on fuel cell technologies, we can see that the technology is proven and solid.
5.2 Current uses in transportation One particularly interesting use of hydrogen fuel cell technology is its application in the transportation industry. With major players like Toyota recent market entry of the Mirai, we can see that major players in the automotive industry is finally ready to speculate on the promising hydrogen fuel cell technology segment. The basic specs of Toyota’s market entry is seen below as collected from google.com.
Figure 7: Toyota Mass market Hydrogen fuel cell entry: Toyota Mirai (google.com) The figure above allows us to see what current hydrogen fuel cell technology is at a point of marketable feasibility, a point that even Toyota is willing to stake a bid on the segment. The figure shows us that hydrogen fuel cell based on nickelmetal hydride is the progress in Hydrogen fuel cell technology that is the first to be used in massmarket commerization. So how is the application of hydrogen fuel cell different compared to the use of current electric powered vehicles and petrol
powered vehicles? Based on Bruce Lin’s master thesis we can see the main difference in figure 8.
Figure 8: Comparison of power Systems (Lin 2014) How all the components listed above work together in the electric fuel cell systems as compared to traditional petrol motorbikes and electric motorbikes is very different.(Lin 2014) Figure 9 will help us understand how exactly a fuel cell work.
figure 9: Indivudal Fuel Cell (energystoragesense.com) In figure 9 we can see that as compared to traditional petrol powered system, Fuel cell systems are very efficient due to the fact that no combustion takes place and all excess hydrogen can be fed back into the close looped system for use. Based on
using hydride as the hydrogen’s altered state, the fuel cell above produces energy in the form of electrical power and heat, as well as water (H20), but no emissions.(Lin 2014) Compared to petrol alternatives from the figure above we can see that electric and hydrogen fuel cells are the two potential propellers of tomorrow’s transportation industry, displacing emission heavy alternatives such as petrol while saving the customer money in the long term. (Lin 2014) 5.3 Hydrogen fuel cell technology limitation and assumptions 5.3.1 Assumptions For the purpose of developing the proposal of the introduction of Hydrogen motorbikes to Vietnam, we must make two assumptions for the developing the recommendations for this particular technology. The first assumption that we must make is that we must be sure that the fuel cell technology to be incorporated in our proposed hydrogen motorbike use the latest technologies, in that it must use refillable canisters of hydrogen stored in it’s hydride form. This method of storage is currently the most efficient and profitable use of hydrogen fuel cell technology. Uses of any other of hydrogen storagemethods are unreliable and potentially detrimental to the success of the product. (Lin 2014) The second assumption we must make is that we must assume that in order for hydrogen fuel cells motorbikes be successfully introduced to Vietnam that wemust also introduce the best methods of hydrogen production to the country. The assumption is made that should hydrogen motorbikes become successful in Vietnam, heavy investment should also be made in the efficient and clean production of hydrogen hydride and its complementary products. Without these assumptions, the product would potentially fail. 5.3.2 Limitations One big limitation about the recommendation of hydrogen technology in Vietnam, is the massive governmental assistance required to develop a strong enough initial infrastructure to support the convenient and cost effective use of hydrogen powered vehicles. Without this infrastructure, no matter how clean and better hydrogen energy is compared to the alternatives, hydrogen fuel cell motobikes will not be able to capture the market share needed to disrupt the alternatives currently on the market that has better existing supporting infrastructure. For the purpose of this report, we will give a very high level of the type of infactrustre that is needed to achieve the desired market conditions needed to introduce hydrogen fuel motorbikes. The three main components of infrastructure required are Hydrogen chemical processing plants, hydrogen hydride canister refilling factories, and retail locations in which hydrogen hydride canisters can be distributed. Without any of the component listed above, we will not be able effectively introduce hydrogen fuel
cell motorbikes as a viable alternative to electric and petrol motorbikes. The main reason for these key aspects is because as with all new technologies wemust ensure that potential customer switching cost and switching barriers are reduced to the lowest possible level. Should we not be able to provide any three of the components listed above, our success in launching hydrogen fuel cell motorbikes would be severely limited. 6. Ideate 6.1 Solution Decision Criteria Based on the research presented above and what we understand about hydrogen technology, the solution decision criteria for the successful introduction of hydrogen technology must satisfy the a range of key factors. These range of key factorsmakes up the decision criteria for the introduction of hydrogen fuel cell technology to Vietnam. The decision criterion for introducing hydrogen technology are as follows:
1. Initial hydrogen fuel cell motorbikes must employ the use of hydrogen stored as hydrogen hydride in hydrogen canister
2. Initial design for hydrogen motorbikes must target a niche market 3. Initial deployment of hydrogen fuel motorbike must be introduced in a
manageable geographical area. The use of hydrogen in its hydride form is a decision criteria because of the proven safety record of hydride compared to other methods of distributing hydrogen as detailed in section 5.2 of this report. The focus on the design of the hydrogen fuel cell motorbikes mimics the path that Tesla headed down during its early stages. In targeting a specific market segment, our product will be able to deeply penetrate the targeted nichemarket and create a loyal first adopter following. In targeting these “extreme users”, we will be able to create a value position that can be easily leverage in branding our product offering. Launching the first wave of hydrogen fuel cell motorbikes in a manageable geographical area will help in the early development of the infrastructure needed to support the technology. Strategically deploying the motorbikes in a region that can support and encourage the consumption of the motorbikes will definitely help the product’s launch. Staying close to hydrogen production facilities and building on a network of friendly hydrogen canister distribution locations will help reduce overhead costs and lower consumer switching costs. 6.2 Recommendations of Alternatives
Considering the decision criteria and their relative importance to the case of Hydrogen fuel cell motorbikes in Vietnam, we will make two recommendations and pathways on how to move forward with the introduction of the product. 6.2.1 Fully Hydrogen motorbikes The first recommendation that we will present for this case is the introduction of motorbikes that is built to only run on hydrogen.With this recommendationwewill focus heavily on accomplishing decision criteria one, two, and three. In this recommendation we will attempt to perfect the production of hydrogenmotorbikes and its complementary product as quickly as possible to ensure that we are able to efficiently attain economy of scale in the shortest amount of time. Once economy of scale is achieved through strategically focusing on superior hydride canister development and efficient upstream as well as downstream supply chain management, we will be able to effectively satisfy cafeterias one, two, and three.
This recommendation incorporates the use of hydride canisters, uses design oriented actions to target a niche market, and encourages us to be centrally located to all related production inputs and potential channels of sales. 6.2.2 Electric hydrogen hybrid motorbikes The second recommendation for the case of hydrogen motorbikes in Vietnam is to initially introduce hydrogen technology in conjunction with existing electric technologies. This recommendations for a initial product offering of a hybrid hydrogen and electric moped satisfies design criterias two, and three. Introducing a hybrid model during our initial product offering will ease new customers into the hydrogen market with a moderately liberal product compared to the more liberal product suggested in section 6.2.1. This will ease any switching hesitation that the market might have toward hydrogen fuel cell motorbikes. While built as a hybrid, this recommendation calls for the incorporating hydrogen hydride canisters as the medium in which hydrogen will be provided. The motorbike that will result from this recommendation should also be based on design and be launched in a centrally located geographical region as in recommendation 6.2.1. This recommendation centers around the introduction of a electric and hydrogen fuel cell motorbike that incorporates use of hydride canisters, uses design oriented actions to target a niche market, and encourages us to be centrally located to all related production inputs and potential channels of sales. However as compared to the first recommendation in section 6.2.1, this recommendation will not be able to achieve the full economy of scale as it related to hydrogen based technologies. 6.3 Preferred Alternative After careful consideration and review of the two recommendations above this report will continue to detail why recommendation 6.2.2 Electric hydrogen hybrid motorbikes is the preferred recommendation and alternative. Leveraging the
successes with electric based technology, we can use the hybrid platform to ease potential customers into increased awareness and eventual acceptance of hydrogen based technologies. The reason that we would want to start with an hydrogen fuel cell and electric
hybrid in our initial offering is because as we develop the infrastructure to support hydrogen based technologies, we want to ensure that our customer are never left without fuel for their motorbikes. Just as Tesla’s fully electric automobile was the successor to the United States’ move towards hybrid technologies between petrol and electricity, we want to nurture hydrogen technologies during our initial public offerings to ensure that we maximize our opportunities for success. Learning from Tesla, producing the initial offering of a hybrid rather than a fully hydrogen power motorbike will allow us to better focus on the customer development through the easing of the adoption of hydrogen technologies. Oncewe are successful with our initial product offering, we can actually come back
to this report and implement recommendation 6.2.1 Fully Hydrogen motorbikes. Employing this recommendation will actually allow us to also have the advantage of recommendation 6.2.1 Fully Hydrogen motorbikes in the run long. Should recommendation 6.2.1 Fully Hydrogen motorbikes be employed before recommendation 6.2.2 Electric hydrogen hybrid motorbikes, the later deployment of recommendation 6.2.2 Electric hydrogen hybridmotorbikes will actually hurt the brand image of hydrogen technology. The introduction of hydrogen technologies should be a one way path, backtracking will actually harm the brand value in the long term. Customer will see the later introduction of a hybrid as an admittance that hydrogen based motorbikes doesn’t work. However this drawback is not as strong if the hybrid offering were introduced before fully hydrogen powered motorbikes. In that particular scenario, the customer would see the later introduction as an improved product and will have increased faith in the brand and technology. 7. Prototype and Commercialization As we begin to develop what our hybrid hydrogen and electric motorbikes will look and feel like, we will start to develop details regarding how we should position our offering as well as how we can use social mediums to increase the likelihood of success for our product. To accomplish these two commercialization efforts, wewill look at the market position based on the design of our proposed hybrid hydrogen motorbikes as well as how social marketing can be apply to our advantage. 7.1 Market positioning and Design Taking a page fromApple’s success and innovation based on design, wewill strive to position our proposed hybrid motorbike as a design oriented product. Rather than being designed based on current motorbikes frames in Vietnam, our proposed motorbike will be marketed as a technology heavy product. The proposed Hybrid hydrogen motorbikes will be built on a special frame that can be upgraded every two to three years. Computing technologies will also be fitted on these motorbikes
to position the product as a niche luxury product during the first three to four years of production. In establishing a niche market position, hybrid motorbikes will seek to disrupt the current industry by clear differentiation as a technologically advanced company. As seen in figure 10 below, our proposedmotorbike will strive to look like the motorcycle on the right more than the motorbike on the left. In creating this proposed brand and market position for our hybrid hydrogen motorbikes we will continue to differentiate our product from other existing offerings on the market.
Figure 10 Motorbike brand versus Motorcycle branding (California DMV) 7.3 Social Marketing With good design and a clear value proposition as detailed above, commercialization of the proposed motorbike will leverage social media tools as we bring the product to market. In the commerization of our motorbike we will use social media tools to fund, promote, as well as sell our product. Extensive use of social media will not only allow us to bring our product to market, but also create brand awareness along theway. Creating brand awareness through the heavy use of social media tools will tremendously help our project in the long run. In funding the developmental costs required for our product, we will start a kickstarter campaign for five hundred thousand dollars on Kickstarter.com. Kickstarter is a crowdfunding website that has helped over one hundred thousand projects raise over two billion dollars. Using Kickstarter we will develop a funding schedule that will allow early adopters to back our product with the ability to prepurchase our motorbike as the highest tier of support. Wewill also develop low tiers of funding support that is rewarded with company gear and special merchandises. Funding through crowd funding and especially kickstarter.com will help the brand awareness during the development and deployment of our hybird hydrogen motorbike. In the promotion of our motorbike wewill use Twitter and Instagram tomarket the lifestyle that is associatedwith our brand.Where Facebook should have been a clear tool used, we will opt to not engage on facebook for the case of Vietnam. In light of
the censorship placed on Facebook, we will not include the social networking platform to mitigate any potential business disruption resulting from periods of heavy censorship that impacts access to the website. In well designed twitter and Instagram updates wewill portray the hybrid hydrogen motorbikes as a luxury good that mirrors Apple’s branding of its products. Using Twitter and Instagram we will reach out to our “extreme users”, another name for passionate first adopters. We will use these online social networking platform to directly target young technology savvy professional to adopt our product. Through these platforms we will continue to work to develop and reinforce our brand in the market. In using social tools to sell our product, wewill use online ecommerce platform such as ebay or lazada to directly sell our motorbike to our customers. Following Tesla, we will reduce dealership costs and overhead by not having a physical distribution location, but rather a clean showroom like Apple. Having a showroom that can educate the market regarding our motorbike will help the initial transition from petrol based motorbikes. Employing ebay or lazada, will help us provide superior customer service by only allowing customers to buy ourmotorbike directly through us via those platforms. When the ecommerce transaction is completed by our potential customer, wewill deliver eachmotorbike to our end user and provide four hours of training on how to use and operate our motorbike. In using these ecommerce platform we transfer the cost that we would have otherwise spent on an extensive network of brick and mortar locations to build one central store front supported by a team of service oriented professional whowill travel to the customer to ensure each customer is happy with their purchase. 8. Testing In the testing phase for hybrid hydrogen motorbikes, we will start to develop metrics that will signal whether the recommendations presented are successful as we move to implement and market the product to the Vietnamese market. 8.1 Success metrics In testing for our prototype, we will focus on three metrics that we can measure as we implement our product. These three metrics are low annual fuel cost, high reliability, and high brand perception. Described in measurable terms, the table below has been developed as goals for testing throughout the process of implementing hybrid hydrogen motorbikes in the Vietnamese Market.
SUCCESS METRICS GOALS
Low Annual fuel Cost Fuel will cost no more than 90 dollars USD annually
High Reliability Motorbike will only required scheduled maintenance once every year
High Brand Recognition Capture 5% of the market for motorbikes within the first year of operation
During the implementation stage of our product we will look to these success metrics to ensure that we are developing a product to meet the market’s expectations. In keeping the annual fuel cost at a low level we can build the perception that Hydrogen based technology is better the petrol based technology. In ensuring that there is no hesitation to adopt hydrogen as an emerging technology, we will strive to ensure that the proposed motorbike only needs servicing once every year. This will help boost the perception of hydrogen technology as reliable and a good replacement for petrol based technologies. Promotion of low cost to own and high reliability will work in tandem to accomplish our third success metric of high brand recognition. With high brand recognition we can measure the market acceptance of our product through acquired market share or lack thereof. If proper marketing is employed and the proposedmotorbike has high brand recognition, but sale does not reflect those facts then we can revisit why our product is not fairing well in the market. 9. Conclusion As an emerging technology, hydrogen fuel cells has been in development for a number of decades. This report works to present how hydrogen can be implemented in motorbikes for the case of Vietnam. Through design thinking and analysis, this report have defined hydrogen technology and developed the exact the term of reference for application in motorbikes, how to ideally implement the proposal and what characteristics our recommendations should include, developed an implementation plan and provided details on how the idea can be marketed, as well as developed metrics that will measure success during implementation.
