Hydrogen powered cars by 2010
GM announces mass production of hydrogen cars until 2010
We’ve been waiting for an alternative fuel source to come
available for awhile. Well, GM is now placing a time period on when we can see new hydrogen based vehicles.
On Thursday, the automaker announced that while it will continue its tie-up with
on other advanced technologies, it will no longer be sharing its fuel-cell research. Toyota
‘Because of the advances we made that type of technology is passing from the research phase to development,’ Fosgard said.
Fuel cells produce electricity through a chemical reaction between hydrogen and oxygen, leaving water as the only by-product. They are far more environmentally friendly than the currently popular hybrid gas-electric engines which merely reduce the amount of gas needed to power the vehicle.
I’m so excited to see the mainstream car manufacturers embrace this technology. Hybrids are here to stay!
