Interesting news I read in the Rockford Register
 

Caught a small blurb about Hyundai experimenting or potentially
looking at Hydrogen fuel cell models in Friday's Rockford Register. I
can't find anything on their web site or in their archives. Just
though I'd mention it.

We sometimes forget just how big Hyundai is and what capabilities they have.
Chung Ju-jung would have been proud to see such a thing in the A-do Garage.

Seems Hyundai's been playing from the sidelines and is only now
realizing there's other venues they need to be exploring. I forgot to
mention that the article said they are also looking at Diesel
technology as well. It should be interesting to see what they do with
either tech. Cheers.

How old&nbsp; is that info ????

In the rest of the world, most Hyundai cars offer a Diesel engine.

They clawed their way up to one of the biggies in the auto world, now it is
time to participate in the future. If the industry is to survive the next
10 or 20 or 50 years, they have to dump money into R & D.

Oh yes, definitely. You can't stick with one technology no matter how
safe it mat be. Eventually, oil will run out and if you're not ahead
of the curve, you're sunk. The next 10 years should be interesting.
