Tas researchers on the trail of hydro cars

As petrol prices continue to soar, scientists in Tasmania say they are not far from producing cars that run on nothing more than wind and water. The group says such vehicles will be travelling along the state’s roads within a few years.

The hydrogen-powered combustion engine is the technology Tasmanian scientists hope will be the ultimate environmentally friendly engine. Hydro Tasmania is looking to harness hydrogen to power vehicles, with the hydrogen produced by electrolysis from wind power and water.
