The 2012 Paris Motor Show starts in a few days and runs from Saturday, September 29 through October 14. And during this European auto show, something historic is supposed to happen.

Both Toyota and Kia Motors are affirming that they will be producing and selling hydrogen fuel cell cars by 2015. Toyota has developed a 3 kW/L fuel cell stack that is twice as powerful as the one they are using in the FCHV-adv. This fuel cell stack is also about half the size and weight, […]

And for Nissan it has been especially sad since they haven’t rolled out a new hydrogen concept car since they unveiled the X-Trail FCV in the year 2005. But wipe away those tears since the Japanese automaker has […]
