Pretty weird huh ?

Looks interesting but probably the normal duel fuel issues apply. Limited range and performance.... Large storage tanks taking up space? Nice idea but would like to see a few hundred thousand installs before I tried it...

well if you read carefully they say they made 50.000km or miles on their prototype

and that you can do 100 miles on a full tank of hydrogen.
apparently costs 10.000$ to convert the engine.

Seems really interesting.

No chance..... how long will it take you to cover the miles to warrant the install costs, I have not used $10000's worth of fuel since I bought the car over 2 years ago and I do relatively high mileage? Its not worth it at the moment. That is awful compared to say a LPG conversion.

Also that is only 50000Km on a couple of cars not the install on Thousands of cars so we know it works on may different things.

yeah.. you're probably right.. its a nice concept though; maybe in the future

That has still got many years before it is proven and viable.
