Hydrogen Cars, Vehicles and Infrastructure
Features hydrogen vehicles other than cars such as forklifts, motorcycles, bikes, buses and submarines.
In Victoria, British Columbia, BC Transit has been awarded a contract to produce 20 hydrogen buses. These hybrid electric fuel cell buses will help the province cut greenhouse gases by the target of 33-percent by the year 2020. The $46.4 million contract was presented to New Flyer Industries of Winnipeg. The hydrogen buses are expected […]
Continue ReadingIn June, I had talked about the Greek geeks getting into the act when it comes to hydrogen technology by developing new storage technology along with developing new hydrogen minibuses. Now, the Greeks have out-geeked themselves by developing hydrogen submarines that will cruise the Mediterranean Sea unnoticed by watchful eyes. Air Products Corporation will be […]
Continue ReadingVectrix Corporation from Newport, Rhode Island, known for their all-electric motor scooters is also developing a fuel cell motor scooter in collaboration with Parker Hannifin. The Vectrix VX-FCe fuel cell hybrid motor scooter contains a 500-watt Protonex NGenTM fuel cell and has a top speed of 62 mph with a range of 155 miles. The […]
Continue ReadingI last talked about hydrogen airplanes almost a year ago in August, so I thought it was time for an update. Recently, researchers at FAMU-FSU College of Engineering in Tallahassee, Florida along with scientists from NASA have been working on developing a hydrogen fuel cell airplane that uses advanced superconductors to power the aircraft. The […]
Continue ReadingIt seems like now that hydrogen buses have started rolling out, you just can’t stop them. From Scottsdale to Chattanooga, Florida to California, South Korea to the Northern U. S. states, hydrogen buses keep hitting the pavement in record numbers. Orlando International Airport and the convention center have received a combined four Ford E-450 hydrogen […]
Continue ReadingHychain Mini-Trans is a European demonstration project that links the public up with hydrogen fuel cell vehicles. The European Union has taken on the task to seeing to it that 150 small urban fuel cell vehicles be made available for use in areas of France, Spain, Germany and Italy. Drivers of the small vehicles such […]
Continue ReadingMasterflex AG has come out with their new hydrogen Cargobike, which will be in stores sometime this year. The Masterflex Cargobike is a three-wheel hydrogen fuel cell and lithium ion battery assisted tricycle that can also be propelled with pedal power while generating zero emissions. Like the name implies, the Cargobike is meant for hauling […]
Continue ReadingSeveral weeks ago I had blogged about how hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) would one day be fueling future cars and the fuel is, in fact, powering some types of vehicles today. From rockets to jetpacks to submarines, hydrogen peroxide has been used as a clean and powerful zero emissions fuel to propel vehicles from point A […]
Continue ReadingThe Valeswood H-Bike hydrogen fuel cell bicycle may hit paths and roadways sooner than anyone thinks. The Valeswood H-Bike was rolled out this week at the NEMEX Sustainabilitylive renewable energy show in Birmingham, UK. This hydrogen fuel cell bicycle beats an electrically assisted bike hands down in that a bike powered by battery can only […]
Continue ReadingNow that Sunline Transit and Ford have been rolling out hydrogen buses over the past year or two, primarily in the Western and Southern U. S., there has been a flurry of hydrogen bus activity in the Northeast U. S. as well. On Monday, April 9, the University of Delaware unveiled a hydrogen fuel cell […]
