“We are looking for a vehicle that operates from a fuel source that reduces—or eliminates—our dependence on petroleum products, that is good for the environment, good for our customers and good for the Postal Service,” said Walter O’Tormey, vice president, Engineering, as he accepted the keys to the Equinox Fuel Cell that will be tested in Irvine, CA.

I think role of companies with large fleets and fairly limited driving ranges is key in polishing new tech before mass adoption. Way to go USPS!

I wonder where exactly in Irvine this is.

Hydrogen Car Highs and Lows: What's your opinion?

If you can power an electric vehicle with electricity created right onboard the vehicle, you don't have to deal with charging delays. And you don't need big batteries. All you need is a big tank full of hydrogen, currently available in literally dozens of locations across the country.

Will hydrogen fuel cell vehicles prove the ultimate answer?

Hydrogen technology is very exciting. The ability to have zero emissions. Has anyone done a conversion or own one?

Honda's hydrogen fuel -- FCX

petty026 — Fri, 20 Feb 2009 07:29:40 GMT

Who wouldn't want to have it? A FCX Clarity zero emission hydrogen powered fuel cell sedan. The FCX is the first hydrogen fuel cell car that has been certified for daily use by both the Environmental Protection Agency and California Air Resources Board. One more thing is that it tore into corners eagerly and without any noticeable body lean. Great speed, power steering pump and great powertrain system.

I want FCX

Can someone hook me up with Honda to lease their FCX?

Are you looking to save the Earth, or just hoping to save a few bucks? Are increased CO2 levels causing global warming, or is global warming causing increased CO2 levels? Which is greener, hybrid or diesel power?

Welcome to KBB Green Forums, created to take advantage of the simple truth that the more questions we ask, the more answers we get. Kelley Blue Book has been helping car buyers make informed purchase decisions for more than 80 years, and now you get to play a more direct role in that mission than ever.
