Mazda: Hydrogen cars unrealistic until 2020

Greenbang always knew it would take a while for the industry to deliver a commercially available hydrogen car. Infrastructure and an affordable cost simply aren’t there yet but 12 years seems a particularly long time - but that is what Mazda’s Tsutomu Matsuoka has allegedly stated.

The news agency AFP has reported that:

“The earliest that customers will use these environmentally-friendly vehicles in a normal way will be 2020,” the general manager of [Mazda's] technical research centre, Tsutomu Matsuoka, said at the World Petroleum Congress in Madrid, one of the oil industry’s biggest events.

Greenbang tracks the explosion of the environmental industry, reporting on news of green innovation and thought leadership.

We blog on this rather than the environmental problems of the world because we are interested in the answers to climate change.
