Mazda believes the future is along the 'hydrogen highway', but the automaker doesn't believe that autos on that highway should be powered by hydrogen fuel cells.
"A hydrogen fuel cell is efficient but," Mazda executive Nobuhiro Hayama said on Monday, "a hydrogen engine was more practical because no change was needed in the materials and manufacturing process of engines."
Instead, Mazda believes that hydrogen engines - basically internal combustion engines powered by hydrogen rather than gasoline - are the future, especially rotary engines.
"A hydrogen fuel cell is efficient but Hayama said a hydrogen engine was more practical because no change was needed in the materials and manufacturing process of engines."
In addition, the technology behind gasoline powered hybrid cars could also be applied to hydrogen vehicles to increase their efficiency. Currently, a hydrogen fuel cell vehicle is about twice as efficient as an internal combustion engine.
