Jalopnik loves a good bus, and the only thing better is a good, green bus. It seems as though Hyundai and Toyota are getting in on the love with not just any old buses, but with fuel-cell electric versions that are likely harbingers of a number of these to come.Read more… Continue Reading at https://jalopnik.com
Energica Motor Company, an Italian electric motorcycle maker, is working on a technological collaboration with Italian startup Sealence to produce a new boat propulsion latform called DeepSpeed. If this electric jet technology takes off, it could be revolutionary for the medium-size seagoing vessel industry.Read more… Continue Reading at https://jalopnik.com
While most automotive companies have been pivoting to electrification instead of hydrogen when dreaming up more sustainable power sources, some folks are still hellbent on proving that hydrogen works. One of those companies is GCK (or Green Corp Konnection) Motorsport, which is aiming to bring a hydrogen-powered car…Read more… Continue Reading at https://jalopnik.com

We’ve already mostly seen the second-generation Toyota Mirai, but now we know most of its features, too. It has a fancier trim for the first time and is, in my mind, very much a looker with its updated styling, though I know there are still a lot of Mirai skeptics out there. Read more… Continue […]

It’s safe to say that Toyota’s hydrogen-powered cars haven’t exactly been flying off dealer lots. This has a lot to do with the fact that it’s almost impossible to find hydrogen fueling stations outside of Southern California, and that the original Mirai was trouser-damagingly ugly. Recently, though, Toyota seems to…Read more… Continue Reading at https://jalopnik.com
There are a few constants in the car world: Everyone buys trucks when gas gets cheap, everyone buys compacts when it’s expensive, and everyone always complains new BMWs have lost their edge. Not included in that list are EV subsidies, which are as fickle as they come. But they do work. All that and more […]
The Hyperion XP-1, unveiled Wednesday, is a hydrogen fuel cell supercar with over 1,000 miles of range, a claimed zero to sixty time of 2.2 seconds, and a claimed top speed of over 220 mph. It’s also trying to make the case for hydrogen fuel cell technology.Read more… Continue Reading at https://jalopnik.com
Electric big-rig startup Nikola first unveiled its prototype hydrogen fuel cell semi concept back in 2016 with a promise to develop a national hydrogen distribution network to keep these trucks fueled. The company has allegedly already booked several billion dollars worth of truck sales in pre-orders, including up to…Read more… Continue Reading at https://jalopnik.com

There are issues inherent with hydrogen as a fuel for cars. It is incredibly expensive and energy intensive to create, it is difficult to pressurize and transport, and the infrastructure for hydrogen as fuel is far less developed than battery electric charging. A few automotive manufacturers, chiefly Honda and Toyota,…Read more… Continue Reading at https://jalopnik.com
While Mercedes is busy unveiling their new electric garbage truck, Isuzu is turning to Honda for clarity on their own alternative-fuel heavy truck future. That’s right. They’re going hydrogen.Read more… Continue Reading at https://jalopnik.com
As we head into 2020, the number of hydrogen cars available to the public is still dreadfully low. There are less than a handful of them and existing infrastructure is woefully behind anything that would sustain any realistic, widespread usage. But had automakers invested in hydrogen cars with the same gusto they did…Read more… Continue […]
Kawasaki Heavy Industries in Japan has launched the world’s first-ever liquefied hydrogen carrier ship at Kobe Works yard. Officially named the Suiso Frontier, the goal of the ship is to transport hydrogen in large quantities via the sea. It’s the first vessel of its kind.Read more… Continue Reading at https://jalopnik.com
Japanese automakers are finally giving in to electric cars, not everyone in the union loves the proposed contract with General Motors, Renault and Nissan only have a year to sort things out, and much more for this average Morning Shift for Tuesday, Oct. 22, 2019.Read more… Continue Reading at https://jalopnik.com
We don’t talk much about the hydrogen fuel-cell crossover Hyundai Nexo—but we should probably change that, considering that it not only just survived its first crash test but also scooped up an IIHS Top Safety Pick+ along the way. Read more… Continue Reading at https://jalopnik.com
A decade or so ago, it seemed like hydrogen cars could be the long-range, clean alternative to fossil fuels we were looking for. Batteries didn’t seem up to the job, the infrastructure could be built out by converting gas stations and we should never run out. But after years of massive growth in the electric […]
Our world is generally pretty well understood.

That’s why I’d like all of you to really enjoy knowing the fact that there is…Read more… Continue Reading at […]
