Shanghai World Expo series 10: Zero carbon emissions at Expo park
This looks like an ordinary SUV for police use. But it is by no means ordinary. It is a zero-emissions Fuel Cell car, which eats hydrogen and discharges water. Because when hydrogen combines with oxygen, it produces what we call H2O.. This revolutionary innovation will be introduced to visitors at the 2010 world expo.
Raymond Bierzynski, VP engineering of GM Asia Pacific, said, We want to showcase what could be at the high-end of technology, which is zero emission, which our fuel cell system.
No petrol required, it can run for about 320 km at one fill-up of hydrogen. The next generation of vehicle technologies are not like conventional petrol or diesel power vehicles. They are quieter, no noise. In case of fuel cell, zero emission. The only thing from the tail pipe is water, because the fuel cell operates on the principle of combining hydrogen with oxygen.
If you think Fuel Cell cars are toooo expensive, you could also jump into some more affordable GREEN vehicles at the expo site, such as Hybrid Vehicles. These cars run by a combination of gasoline and electric power, therefore saving up to 50% on fuel. Or if that doesn't suit your fancy you could hop into an electric vehicle, they are fully powered by electricity.
