Even the most efficient turbodiesel engines in the world cannot match up to the efficiency of BMW’s new hydrogen internal combustion engine. BMW has partnered up in this H2BVplus program with researchers from Graz University of Technology, HyCentA and HOERBIGER of Vienna, Austria to produce an engine with improve geometry and progressive high-pressure direct injection […]

In July 2008, I had talked about the H2CAR fuel cell vehicle being unveiled in the Tecnalia region of Spain. The H2CAR, besides using hydrogen, is also a plug-in hybrid that recharges using a normal household 220v outlet.

First, I want to thank Greg Blencoe of Hydrogen Discoveries for pointing out a bit of good news I had previously overlooked.

From Project Driveway to “Project Roadway” General Motors has decided to help out the citizens of Germany with roadside assistance services. The GM / Opel HydroGen4 will be a part of Germany’s ADAC automobile club, (comparable to the AAA in the U. S.). The announcement was made on February 3, 2009, or the “Day of […]

No, there was no crime involved here. The handing over of the Honda Clarity fuel cell vehicle to a non-Hollywood person is a part of the car company’s promotion plan for its newest hydrogen vehicle. Karen Thorp of Newport Beach, California, who regularly prosecutes mass murders as a senior deputy district attorney for L. A. […]

A little less than a month ago, I talked about the information leaking that the Mercedes-Benz BlueZero F-Cell Concept would be unveiled at the 2009 Detroit Auto Show. Now this has come to fruition. The Mercedes BlueZero F-Cell is a fuel cell vehicle based on the B-class body style and built in a modular style […]

For the first time ever a hydrogen fuel cell vehicle will be the pace car in this year’s 2009 Tournament of Roses Parade in Pasadena, California.
