Schwarzenegger Helps Launch Hydrogen Fuel-Cell Big Rig

[greencat]

Arnold Schwarzenegger has led a charmed life: he's been a world-class bodybuilder, a Hollywood star, and apparently, an amateur cryptologist. He's also an auto enthusiast, so it's only natural that he's given a big thumbs-up to Vision Industries' new hydrogen fuel-cell big rig called the Tyrano. The name's a little strange -- with echoes of "tyrant" and "Tirana", take your pick -- but that's easily overlooked given the truck's range of 200 to 400 miles, depending on tank size. Of course, high-tech vehicles like this don't come cheap, and given the state of America's hydrogen infrastructure, the Tyrano will be limited to California roadways for now, but the Tyrano's $40,000 tax credit might sweeten the deal for potential buyers.

That is a good move by the 'Terminator'. I think this would be the first step in pushing the US govt to support fuel-cell cars. Apparently, in another thread I read that Honda is into a project of making Fuel-cell cars in spite of US govt favoring battery powered cars over fuel-cells. Lets see what happens next
