Hydrogen vehicles, plug-in hybrids, hybrid cars, and clean diesel vehicles are the kinds of automobiles that the Governor wants so see being made for the California market.

“It is fantastic to see that the world’s automakers are developing the technology to help us meet our goals in California . These cars come in every size and shape and they prove that we can give consumers the choices they want and still protect the environment,” said Governor Schwarzenegger. “This is exactly the kind of innovation we need. Working together, we will ensure that California remains a leader in clean and alternative fuel vehicles and we will ensure a healthy and prosperous future for our nation.

“Imagine what we can accomplish if we improve efficiency and put more alternatives on the road, whether it is biofuels, electric cars, hydrogen or hybrids. This will also help our families with fuel prices because it’s all about supply and demand. By providing more alternatives, we can drive down oil prices from the $100 a barrel everyone is expecting.”
