THE
FUTURE
The automotive industry has a hub-bub of new technology coming out over
the next couple of decades. One of the biggest concerns is using our fossil
fuels, and the emissions we create in the process. For years, different
companies, governments, and universities have been looking for the perfect
no-emission transportation.
FUTURE CARS: THE HYDROGEN
FUEL CELL CAR
The one that we're most excited about is the new hydrogen
powered fuel cell car. Following are some links to more information on
this no-emission vehicle. The only emission this car produces from
its tailpipe is water. It has been said that you can drink from the tailpipe
of this car ... Some of the major car companies are also fueling their
own efforts in the 'no-emission' arena:
Ford's
Zero Emission Vehicle - The only emission is water!
Ford has developed a zero emission vehicle,
using the hydrogen fuel cell. Now we are getting somewhere!
