Many of the bigger car marques have zero-emission hydrogen powered fuel cell cars in development in the hope of providing a future alternative to petrol and diesel powered cars, but it would seem that due to high development costs and lack of infrastructure, most of these are decades away from mass production.
Mazda's RX-8 Hydrogen RE, which is based on it's ever-popular RX-8 sports car, has the advantage that it can run on gasoline in the even that a hydrogen fuelling station is not around. It also uses existing engine parts and production facilities to keep their costs low.
Powered by Mazda's rotary engine, it can switch between hydrogen and gasoline power with the flick of a switch. It can cruise for 62 miles on hydrogen and 341 miles on gasoline.
A rotary engine is suitable for hydrogen fuel because the seperate chambers for fuel intake, combustion and exhaust reduce the danger or the fuel's backfiring.
Mazda are the only maker of rotary engines and they are to lease the model to Japanese oil refiner Idemitsu Kosan Co and gas trading company Iwatani International Corp starting in March.
Japan currently has 13 state-owned hydrogen fuelling stations while energy-related companies also own their own.
