BMW Hydrogen 7
|
|
The BMW Hydrogen 7 is a limited production
hydrogen vehicle built by German automobile manufacturer BMW. The car is based on BMW's traditional gasoline powered 7-series line of vehicles, and more specifically the 760Li. It uses the same 6 litre V-12 motor as does the 760i and 760Li; however, it has been modified to also allow for the combustion of hydrogen as well as gasoline, making it a bivalent engine. Unlike many other current hydrogen powered vehicles like those being produced by Honda, General Motors, and Daimler Chrysler - which use fuel cell technology and hydrogen to create electricity to power the vehicle - the BMW directly ignites the hydrogen in its internal combustion engine. - Source: Wikipedia |

Honda FCX Clarity |
|
Honda Motor started the production of its FCX Clarity, the world's first hydrogen-powered fuel-cell vehicle intended for mass production.
Honda will make just 200 of the futuristic vehicles over the next three years, but said it will eventually increase production volumes. Who is on the list of its first five customers? Actress Jamie Lee Curtis! Mr Takeo Fukui, Honda's president, said the cars cost several hundred thousand dollars each to produce, though he said that should drop below $100,000 in less than a decade as production volumes increase. In the meantime, the car company will be effectively subsidizing its customers, who will lease the vehicles for $600 a month. That is not much more than the leasing price of one of Honda's top Acura line of luxury cars. - Source: New York Times |
