I’ve talked a few times before about the Vision Industries Tyrano Truck that is a combination of a hydrogen fuel cell vehicle and a plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (HFCV-PHEV). A month ago I talked about how the hydrogen powered Tyrano was making a public appearance before California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger in Sacramento. Well, now there [...]

The governor talked about the Tyrano at length before the question and answer session turned into a regular press briefing. The Tyrano hydrogen fuel cell plug-in hybrid electric short haul truck [...]
