Accelerated Production of Hydrogen Cars

Efforts to develop alternative energy technologies as a substitute for oil in the motor vehicle, a terrace made manufacturer. After hybrid and electric car technology, manufacturers now focus began to shift to mass production of hydrogen vehicles.

Three Japanese companies and one German manufacturer is ready to expand its massive build up of hydrogen cars in the next two years. The hope in 2014, hydrogen cars are popular in the community. This target is one year sooner than originally planned in 2015.

Three top Japanese manufacturers, Toyota, Honda and Nissan, trying to make car-hydrogen-fueled cars become real by building hydrogen filling stations in Japan. Japan along with 10 energy companies, including distributors of gas and refining companies, three car companies will build 100 hydrogen filling stations in Tokyo, Nagoya, Osaka, and Fukuoka.

Hydrogen car is a car without a fuel that can convert hydrogen into electric power that drives the vehicle. Emissions are also cleaner because cars produce only water vapor. Development of infrastructure networks is an important factor to reduce the production cost of cars to hydrogen-fueled cars are more affordable.

Similarly, the German manufacturer, Daimler, as disclosed its CEO Dieter Zetsche. According to Zetsche, technically hydrogen car has been marketed and it has tested the durability of the vehicle.

"We need a partner to build the infrastructure of hydrogen fueling stations. Based on the results of testing around the world, we will produce hydrogen cars in 2014," Zetsche said as reported by insidelane.

The plan, Daimler to produce variants of the Mercedes B-Class, with a target price is not much different from a hybrid diesel car. However, hydrogen cars have advantages in the clean exhaust emissions and mileage of 400 km for all the content of hydrogen.

B-Class hydrogen has been tested around the world with a mileage of 30,000 km, starting from Stuttgart on January 30, 2011 and returned to the same city on May 30, 2011 last. In total, that hydrogen cars on the road for 125 days. Through which countries are Germany, France, Spain, Portugal, the United States, Canada, Australia, China, Kazakhstan, Russia, Finland, Sweden, Norway, Denmark, and returned to Germany.*** [OVI | PIKIRAN RAKYAT 19082011]
