Standing on the phase where the fuel depletion is the major question of all country, Hydrogen Powered cars had come as blessing. Hydrogen Powered Cars are now denoted as cars of the hereafter though it's invention can be traced back in past. In 1807 Francois Isaac de Rivaz designed the first Hydrogen car but it had some question and not even patented. Many experiments were taken in this field from then on and finally in 1970 Paul Dieges patented the invention.
Some of the Hydrogen Powered Cars use hydrogen fuel cell while some have converted gasoline powered combustion engine. Fiberforge man-made the earliest Hydrogen Powered Car; they called it as "Revolution". Experiment came out as a formula of producing ultra-lightweight automobiles using carbon composites. But it too faced many problems. They realized that they have to sell out the weight of the car for good fuel mileage.

There are many big associates in market who want to take benefit of this fuel crisis. Audi, Ford, Gm, Honda, Hyundai, Volkswagen, Bmw are just few associates who are planning to start Hydrogen Powered Cars. Bmw Hr2 claims to be "world's fastest hydrogen car" exceeding 185mph. It does not operate on fuel cell. It uses modified 6-litre, 12 cylinder combustion machine for its propulsion. While Honda claims to make more productive fuel cell car that can go 220 miles before it need next refueling as compared to 90 miles per tank limit for the Mercedes. Mercedes F600 Hygenius conception Car is powered by hydrogen fuel cell and uses regenerative braking to recapture power and recharge batteries.
In 2005 Honda gave first note of Hydrogen Powered car, Fcx, which was not more than a prototype. The car was never placed in the market. Honda is now coming with its new Fcx Clarity, which runs on hydrogen and electricity, with light body weight and more interior room. They are planning to place more than 200 cars on road in coming three years. John Mendel, executive vice president at America Honda Motor Company, called on this occasion "an especially essential day for American Honda as we plant firm footsteps towards the main streaming of fuel cell cars."
Pros and cons: -
Hydrogen Powered Cars are fuel-efficient cars. Chemical power of hydrogen converted in fuel power in internal machine as it reacts in fuel cell with oxygen. Hydrogen fuel is power carrier and not the source. Electrolysis of water is being used to yield fuel. The only by stock it give is water. Thus it is eco-friendly with zero emission. It will save money on fuel and also lessen our dependence on Opec. It will increase car carrying out as well as gas mileage. And to promote these cars, buyers will receive nice tax break.
The Hydrogen Powered Cars face some challenges too. The consumers have to pay huge whole to posses one of these cars. Therefore manufacturers have to use less high-priced technology without ignoring the safety measures. There have to be sufficient refueling stations so that consumers do not face any problem. California is the leading country in construction refueling stations. 20% of the cars man-made by America are purchased by Californian.
