Hydrogen power has an Edge
Monday, April 28, 2008
"As more consumers start demanding green products, Ford is looking to catch the environmental wave. The company gave the media a sneak peek into its sustainability initiatives with a demonstration of the Ford Edge with HySeries Drive on Thursday at the local Ford plant. The automaker claims it is the world's first drivable fuel cell hybrid electric vehicle. The Edge with HySeries Drive is a battery-powered, plug-in hybrid with a fuel cell that operates as an on-board charger. The vehicle runs in battery-only mode for the first 40 km at speeds up to 136 km/h. When the battery is depleted to approximately 40 per cent, the hydrogen-powered fuel cell auxiliary power unit starts and recharges the battery, giving it an additional 320 km of range." More
