The hydrogen revolution

At the recent Globe 2006 environmental trade fair and conference in Vancouver, transportation was centre stage, featuring many hydrogen fuel cell and alternative-fuel vehicles.

Several vehicle manufacturers offered delegates the chance to drive alternative-fuel vehicles. Three automakers brought out fuel-cell vehicles – Ford, Honda and Nissan. Since I’d already driven Ford’s Focus fuel-cell car – several of which are seeing fleet service in British Columbia – I concentrated on two vehicles I’d never tried, Honda’s FCX and an X-Trail FCV adapted for fuel-cell power by Nissan.
