In the modern society we live in, everything is oriented toward preserving the environment. Most car manufacturers are moving towards hydrogen as it is one of the cleanest fuels in the world. Also, the manufacturers have realized that gas prices are hiking year after year and are thus looking for a solution to this problem in every direction.
Mercedes-Benz is setting the pace for other car manufacturers in using hydrogen as a main source of fuel. The manufacturers of
You may remember the Swiss watchmaker Swatch from 1997 when they co-designed the hugely successful Smart car together with Daimler. Later they decided to pull out of the project and sold the shares in Smart to move on with what they did best – make superb watches.
Now, it seems that Swatch wants to get back into building microcars. According to an interview that Nick Hayek CEO of the company (and the son of the man who designed the Smart forTwo) gave to a Swiss newspaper NZZ, there is a working prototype of Swatch Belenos ELV2.
Hydrogen is one of the cleanest fuels on earth. The easiest and safest way to apply hydrogen energy to motoring is to switch to fuel cell cars. Although Mercedes-Benz and some other mainstream manufacturers have intended to put fuel cell cars on the roads by 2015, the question is – where will the hydrogen come from?
It appears that a British company H2GOElectric Ltd has an answer; and you too can now take part by considering investing in this venture. They have developed a range of electrolytic hydrogen generators both for home and fleet use. The H2GOElectric generator makes pressurised hydrogen from
They’ve clad the B-Class F-Cell vehicle in a special carbon material that makes it almost invisible. It sounds like a road safety disaster but the
Making cars lose weight is another great option for the manufacturers to go green. Thanks to new materials, building lighter cars doesn’t have to compromise on safety. Mercedes E-Class Superlight, will hit the road in 2015.
As the name indicates, the focus of interest will be represented by its very low weight, some 700lbs will be lost compared to the current E-Class. Such a significant weight reduction will be possible only through
Toyota could not miss a chance to be in the elite club of the car manufacturers who want to enter in the unknown territory of hydrogen propulsion.
After Honda, Daimler, BMW and Hyundai announced their intention to put fuel cell cars in mass production as early as in this decade, behold that Toyota FCV-R Fuel Cell Concept comes as a very serious statement of the Japanese manufacturer. The plan is to
The opening party was attended by Mercedes GP pilots Michael Schumacher and Nico Rosberg as well as our very own David Coulthard.
To mark the occasion, the worldwide trip is scheduled to go on for
Scientists often come across as eccentrics. Have they gone too far this time? Professor Gerardine Botte from the much-respected Ohio University is leading a strange study in possibilities to utilize urine in green motoring.
It might sound like a crazy idea but it actually makes perfect sense when you think about it. Urine is the cheapest possible (to date) source of hydrogen. If we had enough of freely available hydrogen, our motoring problems would be solved because hydrogen is the most widespread element on earth, it burns eagerly and produces water as a by-product.
It is such a shame to have such an enormous amount of fuel around without being able to use it. It is possible to
