Hydrogen Cars, Vehicles and Infrastructure
Features hydrogen vehicles other than cars such as forklifts, motorcycles, bikes, buses and submarines.
In February 2009, I had talked about how the New Holland NH2 fuel cell farm tractor won the gold medal in the SIMA Innovation Awards. The farm tractor easily pulled away from its combination, not only being the best in category but the only in category in regard to hydrogen fuel cell powered tractors. Well, […]
Continue ReadingBy guest blogger Stan Thompson It’s way too easy to miss really important events in the history of hydrogen railroading if they don’t contain the magic searchable word “hydrail”. I missed a huge one last month: the demonstration of Europe’s (and perhaps the world’s) first hydrail train—or maybe the first hydrolley—now planned for regular passenger […]
Continue ReadingIf you happen to be a hydrogen car and vehicle supporter then you’ve naturally developed a lot of patience. I’ve had the hydrogen car website up for 6 years and I’ve been writing this blog for over 5 years now. And in this time, I’ve seen technology come and go while others just sort of […]
Continue ReadingThe Suzuki Burgman scooter powered by an Intelligent Energy fuel cell has leaped a major hurdle towards commercialization. The Suzuki Burgman Fuel Cell Scooter was first unveiled in 2009 and has been undergoing public road testing in the United Kingdom since. According to Intelligent Energy, “Intelligent Energy, the global clean power systems company, and Suzuki […]

In fact, Intelligent Energy is no rookie when it comes to showing off their demonstration vehicles. They have been showing off the ENV for 6 years now. Intelligent Energy partnered with […]
Continue ReadingIn 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). The AVL FCC is basically a battery electric car that uses a hydrogen […]
Continue ReadingI 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 […]
Continue ReadingJust 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 […]
Continue ReadingIn 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 […]
Continue ReadingThis 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 […]
