The Newest Fuel Cell Vehicle Debuts At The 2006 Los Angeles Auto

December 2006 (Medialink) -- Fuel Cell Vehicles (FCV's) are slated to be all the rage for the future and may revolutionize on-road transportation in the next few years. This new emerging technology has the potential to significantly reduce energy use and harmful emissions, as well as our dependence on foreign oil.

The first Fuel Cell Vehicle with a radius of 250 miles at the largest distance to date at is debuting at the 2006 Los Angeles Auto Show for the first time, supporting that FCV's are sustainable as a viable technology. Fueled with pure hydrogen gas onboard in high-pressure tanks, they can also be fueled with hydrogen-rich fuels; such as methanol, natural gas, or even gasoline. Previously, FCV's only worked efficiently in warm weather, but this latest technology starts easily even at temperatures as low as minus 13 degrees Fahrenheit, making it accessible for everyone anywhere.
