Mazda launches hydrogen car in Norway
May 12 2009Car manufacturer MAZDA has unveiled a new hydrogen-powered car that will be used on the streets of Norway as part of the country's environmentally-friendly driving scheme.
The country is aiming to significantly cut carbon emissions on its roads through the development of a hydrogen highway that will increase the use of hydrogen-powered vehicles such as the Mazda RX-8 Hydrogen RE.
Launching the new model, which was test-driven by Norway's minister for transportation, the event was also used to unveil two new hydrogen filling stations on the Oslo-Stavanger route.
"This latest unveiling is just one of Mazda's environmentally-friendly technologies to be introduced as part of its Sustainable Zoom-Zoom strategy and includes such innovative products as next-generation clean diesel engines and a fuel-saving idle-stop system called i-STOP," said Mazda.
The arrival of the new vehicle could encourage more people looking at used cars to buy a Mazda, as the company looks to position itself as an environmentally-friendly option for motorists.
In the UK, the government has announced plans to reduce the number of polluting vehicles on Britain's roads by putting more investment into the development of infrastructure to support electric-powered vehicles.
