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 [...]

Just a week after I had talked about a hydrogen-powered unmanned underwater vehicle (UUV) for the Navy, the world’s first commercial hydrogen fuel cell system for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) has been announced by Horizon. Now, I’ve talked about hydrogen-powered UAV’s before. In fact, about a year ago, Horizon teamed up Bluebird Aero Systems to [...]

In the Wizard of Oz it was lions and tigers and bears, Oh My! And now hydrogen delayers and deniers may be saying the same thing about hydrogen microcars, scooters and bicycles. On one continent (not North America) a company called APFCT has won a contract to produce a fleet of hydrogen fuel cell microcars [...]

This is not the first time I’ve mentioned AlumiFuel and their hydrogen on demand systems. In the past I’ve also talked about hydrogen powered submarines and hydrogen propelled unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). Now, AlumiFuel Power Inc. (API) has announced that it is working with the U. S. Navy to create unmanned undersea vehicles (UUVs). During [...]

FAUN and Heliocentris have teamed up to develop a German garbage truck for BSR (Berliner Stadtreinigung) that runs on hydrogen, diesel fuel and is a battery electric hybrid vehicle as well. According to Heliocentris, “The garbage collection vehicle prototype will have an onboard hydrogen-powered fuel cell energy system. This allows the main drive (diesel engine) [...]

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 [...]

For 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 [...]

H2 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 [...]

Are the first commercial vehicles actually hydrogen powered forklifts and lift palette trucks? 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. [...]
