The Melbourne Taxi 2020 Concept was created by Damian Lucaciu, a student designer from the RMIT University, Australia. The project involved the computer design of a green alternative fuel vehicle that would help clean up the streets of Melbourne. The eco-friendly Taxi 2020 Concept was designed to be both green, (using hydrogen fuel cell, lithium • Read More »

Next week at the Geneva Motor Show, the Hyundai Tucson ix35 hydrogen fuel cell vehicle is being shown off in anticipation of its limited rollout in 2012. And it is about time for an extreme makeover (Okay, perhaps just a moderate upgrade). The Hyundai Tucson FCEV was first introduced in 2004. The vehicle had a • Read More »

The Mercedes Benz F 800 Concept vehicle is set to rollout at the Geneva Auto Show next month. Unlike some automakers who like to unveil “surprise” vehicles, Mercedes has chosen a different tactic and have tipped their hand way in advance as a way to drum up excitement before the show. The Mercedes Benz F • Read More »

Proton Power Systems and Smith Electric Vehicles have teamed up to produce an electric car with fuel cell range extender. This terminology will most likely go over better with battery electric vehicle fans than the term hydrogen fuel cell hybrid vehicle. Most likely the term electric car with fuel cell range extender was chosen because • Read More »

In August, 2008 I had talked about the California Fuel Cell Partnership or CaFCP Vision Plan for rolling out fuel cell vehicles in California. At that time the goal was to have 25,000 to 50,000 FCVs on the road by the 2015 to 2017 timeframe. Then in March 2009, I had talked about the CaFCP • Read More »

A couple of weeks ago I had talked about how Toyota has said it will rollout 100 hydrogen fuel cell vehicles for testing by 2013. Now, at the 2010 Detroit Auto Show, Toyota has said they will make “affordable” hydrogen FCVs available to the public by 2015. According to Toyota North America spokesman, Irv Miller, • Read More »

The Scandinavian Hydrogen Highway Partnership (SHHP) along with the European Lighthouse Project (LHP), has created H2moves Scandinavia (part of H2moves Europe) which will be rolling out 10 Daimler Mercedes-Benz B-class F-CELL cars plus two Fiat Alfa Romeo MiTo fuel cell vehicles (a first for this company). The vehicles will serve as shuttles and demonstration cars • Read More »

Toyota has announced that by 2013 it will have 100 fuel cell vehicles on the road for demonstration and testing. This is two years ahead of the previously announced large scale rollout of commercial production hydrogen cars in 2015. Up to this point, Honda, General Motors, BMW and Daimler are the automakers who have had • Read More »

Yesterday I pondered a pairing between the Horizon HydroFill home hydrogen refueling products and the Riversimple fuel cell vehicle. In June 2009 I had talked about how the Riversimple, which by the way carries a Horizon 6 kw fuel cell, is an open source vehicle that many are able to develop simultaneously, which will speed • Read More »
