Hydrogen Fuel Cell Vehicles Rally Through California

Bleeding Edge

from the driving-into-the-future dept

In a joint effort from a number of carmakers to show the potential for hydrogen-based fuel cell vehicles, a caravan of prototype fuel-cell cars from many different automakers drove a 400 mile “rally” through the state of California. There are apparently about 50 such cars in the US, being tested, and the number is expected to grow to a whopping 180 in the next year and a half. Clearly, we’re still a ways away from being able to just go down to the dealer and buy one yourself – but it sounds like they’re making progress.
