In my last blog post I talked about how China was charging forward with fuel cell vehicles. At the Austria Tech Week event held at the Expo Shanghai 2010 in China, a company called AVL rolled out its Fuel Cell Commuter (FCC).

I always like talking about the Formula Zero racing go-kart events. They are a fun, fast & furious venue in which to talk about the merits of hydrogen powered vehicles. At The Hague, the Netherlands, the Technical University Delft’s Greenchoice Forze hydrogen fuel cell race team won, beating a gasoline powered go-kart. And not only [...]
