Hydrogen Cars, Vehicles and Infrastructure
Features hydrogen vehicles other than cars such as forklifts, motorcycles, bikes, buses and submarines.
Yesterday, I talked about the APFCT hydrogen scooter taking a road trip around Taiwan. On this trip the empty hydrogen tank was swapped out for a fresh tank several times in less than 3 minutes. This got me to thinking about worldwide scooter sales and where gasoline scooters could be replaced by hydrogen fuel cell […]
Continue ReadingFor a while now, I’ve talked about the U. S., Europe, Japan and perhaps even South Korea and key areas of developed for hydrogen vehicles and fueling stations. Now, I may have to include Taiwan into this category as well. Asia Pacific Fuel Cell Technologies (APFCT) has just completed a 620 mile test drive of […]
Continue ReadingH2 Technologies Group out of Reno, Nevada is betting on a hydrogen fueled lawnmower engine it is developing and which is due out this summer. According to NNBW, “Small engines powered by hydrogen would produce no emissions. Today, the Environmental Protection Agency says one gas-powered lawnmower produces as much pollution as 11 cars. If their […]

And are the first commercial H2 fueling stations the hydrogen stations that power these vehicles? If you’ve followed this blog at all, you know that I’ve talked about hydrogen fuel cell powered forklifts for large warehouses for the past 4 years now. […]
Continue ReadingI’ve talked about this before but I haven’t talked about it in a while and there is an update in regard to converting cars, trucks or vans to run on hydrogen gas. Now, converting an internal combustion engine (ICE) to run on hydrogen is not quite as clean out the tailpipe as a fuel cell, […]
Continue ReadingAccording to Pike Research, which is a marketing and consulting firm in the green tech field that offers in-depth analysis on a wide variety of alternative energy subjects, there will be 2.8 million fuel cell vehicles on the roads by the year 2020. The report titled “Fuel Cell Vehicles: Light Vehicles, Medium/Heavy-Duty Trucks, Transit Buses, […]
Continue ReadingTata Motors, a company which produces the world’s cheapest new car, the Nano has decided to start testing light trucks and buses equipped with hydrogen fuel cells. In August 2009 I had talked about how Tata had announced they were working on a fuel cell version of the Nano as well The FC powered light […]
Continue ReadingOkay, I’ll admit this is a stretch from the usual talk about hydrogen cars and vehicles. Let’s chalk this one up to “hydrogen transportation” or at least “hydrogen assisted transportation”. In the past, I’ve talked about the Honda ASIMO robot powered by fuel cell and a bionic arm powered by hydrogen peroxide. So, now when […]
Continue ReadingThe University of South Carolina Hydrogen Hybrid Bus is leaving the moderate temperature of the South and heading towards the much less forgiving temperatures of Vancouver, Canada in time for the 2010 Winter Olympics. Back in November 2009, I had talked about how hydrogen buses commissioned in Canada were starting to arrive for the 2010 […]
Continue ReadingOkay, so the headline is a mouthful. That repetitive “T” may not roll well off one’s tongue. But, the fact is that I’ve been talking about the Vision Industries Tyrano fuel cell plug-in hybrid truck since May 2009. The original idea was to test and rollout the truck in the ports of Los Angeles and […]
