Products that run on Hydrogen need an appropriate infrastructure.
This is one reason why Hydrogen cars run so far only in defined test areas (e.g. Califormia, large cities as Berlin and so on.). A second reason is that fuel cells are still expensive.

But the Hydrogen age Jules Verne predicted will come true:
Some car manufacturers think of introducing home Hydrogen refueling devices powered by solar or electricity.

As cabs can use always the same filling station the company intelligent-energy will introduce this in London. The company will also introduce a motorbike that runs with Hydrogen.

This ad shows a wide range of Hydrogen powered applications: a hydrogen powered battery charger, a hydrogen powered motorbike and a taxi that has fuel cells.

FCV that can replace normal cars need a good Hydrogen infrastructure and cheaper fuel cells. But both point can be solved. And therefor Daimler and TOYOTA plan to hit the market in the next years.

In contrast to battery powered cars FCV (fuel cell vehicules) have several advantages:
-the range of a FCV is as high as the range of a normal car that runs with gazoline.
-the time to fuel a FCV takes only several minutes.

These are 2 major reaons why electric cars with a battery will only be an alternative for shorter distances.

At TOYOTA Fuel Cell Vehicules (FCV) meet all requirements.
