Many companies are presently researching the possibility of building hydrogen cars, and most of the automobile manufacturers had begun developing hydrogen cars. Following are some automobiles which use hydrogen as a fuel: Scorpion, 2008 It is a type of HICEV and a hybrid car manufactured by Ronn Motor. It runs on a combination of gasoline and hydrogen. Hydrogen 7, 2007 The car is motorized by a dual-fuelInternal Combustion Engine-Liquid Hydrogenand is manufactured by BMW. It’s a limited produced hydrogen vehicle which directly ignites the hydrogen in its internal combustion engine. H2R, 2007 H2R ("Hydrogen Record Car") is a type of HICEV and one of the initial of a new breed of racecars modified to run on liquid hydrogen fuel. The car is produced by BMW and has a twelve-cylinder hydrogen concept engine. Premacy Hydrogen RE Hybrid, 2007 The car is a type HICEV and is manufactured by Japanese manufacturer Mazda. It is a bi-fuel version of the compact MPV Mazda5. It consist two-rotor Wankel engine which permits operation with hydrogen or gasoline. H2Origin, 2008 It is an urban delivery vehicle motorized by a fuel cell and electric drive train, manufactured by Peugeot Citroen.
A fuel cell is powered by compressed hydrogen. FCHV, 2002 It is a recent hybrid hydrogen fuel cell vehicle manufactured by Toyota, which had a limited commercial launch. The fuel cell which replaces the petrol internal combustion engine thereby reduces greenhouse gas emissions at point of use. Quark, 2004 It’s a concept car from Peugeot Citroen and is like a four wheeled motorcycle/quad-bike which uses hydrogen fuel cells and has an electric motor on each of the four wheels. LIFEcar, 2008 The car is manufactured by Morgan Company and is a fuel cell-powered electric car. FCX Clarity, 2007 It’s a hydrogen fuel cell automobile manufactured by Honda and displays electric car qualities such as zero emissions. Panda Hydrogen, 2005 It’s is a prototype fuel cell-type hydrogen vehicle produced by Fiat in which fuel cell stack generates energy to power an electric motor directly, i.e. without a battery. |
