Mercedes leads race to achieve hydrogen lift-off
Sunday, October 09, 2005
"An A-class is the best prospect yet to take fuel cells out of the lab and into the real world, finds Nicholas Rufford of The Sunday Times. The car does 0-62mph in a respectable 13.4sec, has a top speed of 100mph and comes with satellite navigation, air-conditioning and a CD player. The only emission from the exhaust is water vapour. The Merc runs on compressed hydrogen and has a valve where the filler cap would normally be. There are no filling stations yet — except one in Essex used for a fleet of trial buses — but BP wants eventually to sell hydrogen on motorways. Honda in America is already piloting home energy stations which make hydrogen from natural gas so you can refuel your car in your drive." Source: timesonline.co.uk
