Hydrogen fueled cars will be a reality within next decade
by Mike Adams, the Health Ranger, NaturalNews Editor
General Motors has developed a new prototype and is dubbing it the wave of the future. Dubbed the Sequel, it is a hydrogen fueled car expected to be cheaper to make and have more precise handling that previous gasoline based cars. GM will start to make and market these new cars by 2010.
Imagine the economic impact of a technology that replaces the internal combustion engine on the Middle East.
General Motors will have fuel-cell cars in production by 2010, and the Japanese are said to be about two years ahead.
The talk of the Detroit Motor Show was the future of the fuel-cell, and AME Info was invited to a presentation by GM about this new technology at its design headquarters in Detroit.
The difference with this technology is that is actually happening.
There is a prototype hydrogen-fuelled, fuel-cell vehicle called the Sequel, and it will be cheaper to make and better to drive than a petrol-driven vehicle.
But then a company like General Motors, for example, has annual sales bigger than the GDP of Spain.
So money is not likely to be a barrier.
The new fuel-cell vehicle is built on a single low-profile chassis allowing great flexibility in design.
It has one-tenth of the number of moving parts of a petrol car, and all-electronic controls give very precise handling.
The Sequel fuel cell car accelerates from 0-100kph in nine seconds and has a 1,400km range.
Now at a time when the Middle East is experiencing one of its biggest ever oil booms it is churlish to suggest anything but a rosy future.
Oil sales would slump, and prices crash if the Sequel was launched in volume right now.
But when it comes in just five years time we will see the beginning of the end for the internal combustion engine as the main technology of the automotive sector.
