Hydrogen Vehicle

A hydrogen vehicle is a vehicle that uses hydrogen as its onboard fuel for motive power. Hydrogen vehicles include hydrogen fueled space rockets, as well as automobiles and other transportation vehicles. The power plants of such vehicles convert the chemical energy of hydrogen to mechanical energy either by burning hydrogen in an internal combustion engine, or by reacting hydrogen with oxygen in a fuel cell to run electric motors. Widespread use of hydrogen for fueling transportation is a key element of a proposed hydrogen economy.

Toyota FVC 2014

In December 2012 Toyota announced its plans to limit its all-electric car development and instead concentrate on the  In October 2013 Toyota announced it had reduced the cost of the fuel cell system in its next hydrogen-powered car by almost US$1 million and expects to introduce a hydrogen mid-size sedan at a price of less than US$100,000 by 2015. and launch of a fuel cell vehicle by 2015.


Toyota plans to launch its first production fuel cell vehicle, the Toyota FCV, in 2015. The car is expected to have a range of 430 mi (690 km) and to take about three minutes to refill its hydrogen tank.

The Hydrogen Like a Clean Energy

Water has Hydrogen

Hydrogen is the simplest element. An atom of hydrogen consists of only one proton and one electron. It's also the most plentiful element in the universe. Despite its simplicity and abundance, hydrogen doesn't occur naturally as a gas on the Earth - it's always combined with other elements. Water, for example, is a combination of hydrogen and oxygen (H2O).

Hydrogen is also found in many organic compounds, notably thehydrocarbons that make up many of our fuels, such as gasoline, natural gas, methanol, and propane.

Hydrogen fuel cell

A fuel cell combines hydrogen and oxygen to produce electricity, heat, and water. Fuel cells are often compared to batteries. Both convert the energy produced by a chemical reaction into usable electric power. However, the fuel cell will produce electricity as long as fuel (hydrogen) is supplied, never losing its charge.

Fuel cells are a promising technology for use as a source of heat and electricity for buildings, and as an electrical power source for electric motors propelling vehicles. Fuel cells operate best on pure hydrogen.

What is the Hydrogen?

The hydrogen is the first chemical element of the periodic table, is the most simple element because it has only one electron in its electron configuration.
The hydrogen is a common element, the cientific comunity believe that 75% of matter in the universe is hydrogen.
We can find the hydrogen in the Earth like a gas, the hydrogen makes the 10% of ours planet and it is easy to get.
