Did you see the article I read recent about German automaker BMW being hell bent on producing cars to run on hydrogen fuel by year 2008? Well, BMW may not be the first to give hint of the intention to build hydrogen vehicles. General Motors was known to have been working at producing hydrogen cars too, since year 2000.

While most alternative fuel vehicles tend to be either small and economy oriented or expensive and exclusive, Mazda has decided to push their hydrogen powered platforms into the realm of more practical use with the introduction of the Premacy Hydrogen RE Hybrid.

As the news media likes to discuss daily, there are many risks to hydrogen fuel vehicles. Not the least of which is the cost effective replacement of tanks at refueling stations the world over.

There is a new website dedicated to Hydrogen Fuel that has come on to the scene. H2 and You

Anyways I would like to clip from one of their stories today about the use of hydrogen fuel in buses in CA. Check it out and learn:

Riding Hydrogen Buses in California Using public transportation is a good way to reduce pollution caused by personal vehicles. In the San Francisco Bay Area, AC Transit, one of the largest public transport systems in the region, is taking that idea a step further. They're replacing some transit buses running on diesel with hybrid buses that are powered by electricity from hydrogen fuel cells and batteries. AC Transit calls this program "Taking the HyRoad," with "Hy" referring to hydrogen and hybrid technology. Since March 2006, these new buses have transported more than 150,000 people, educating them about hydrogen and fuel cells and eliminating particulates like nitrous oxide and carbon dioxide which standard diesel buses emit. The hydrogen buses are extremely quiet, and get their power from the electricity produced by the on-board hydrogen fuel cell, as well as regenerative breaking from the hybrid propulsion system. The result is a very smooth, quiet, clean ride, especially compared to a bus with an internal combustion engine and transmission.
