Renault Scenic ZEV H2 prototype CAR review

Rated 4.5 out of 5

Richard Aucock, 27 June 2008 09:00

Renault, that so traditional and straight-laced of car companies. It makes sensible family cars and MPVs for sensible folk. The Regie doesn’t do revolution lightly. But, for the past decade, it’s quietly been having an environmental revelation. Why? Because sustainability chimes perfectly with the way its family-orientated customers think, too. Which is how we’ve got this: a working, driveable compact ...

Arnie goes green in VW's Blue

Rated 3.5 out of 5

Anonymous, 04 December 2007 17:30

Schwarzenegger polishing his green credentials with a Blue? Very funny. Yes, he said he’d be back, but rather than hurtling after baddies in a Hummer, Arnold Schwarzenegger came over all green this afternoon when he checked out Volkswagen’s innovative Space Up Blue at the Los Angeles Motor Show. The California Governor was shown around the hydrogen-powered four-seater by Stefan Jacoby, ...

Mazda Taiki

Rated 5 out of 5

Tim Pollard, 02 October 2007 03:18

Mazda Taiki: the lowdown Is it just us, or has Mazda gone a bit concept car crazy in recent months? Its current design mantra of 'nagare' - or flow - has spawned the Nagare, Ryuga and Hakaze show-offs at recent motor shows. And, true to form, there will be another car in the series at the Tokyo Motor Show later ...

Hyundai i-Blue

Rated 3.5 out of 5

Guy Bird, 12 September 2007 06:48

Fuel cells, coupes and crossover wagons… The world debut of the i-Blue fuel cell concept headed up a trio of key Hyundai products at the Frankfurt show stand. ‘Spare me another fuel cell concept’ I can almost hear you thinking, but don’t switch off. This one is no theoretical eco powerplant for a fantasy concept but a serious design showcase ...

Ford Focus FCV

Rated 0 out of 5

Anonymous, 25 June 2007 08:25

Why am I supposed to get excited about a last-generation Focus saloon? Partly because it has a spec-sheet that reads like a Porsche 911 GT3 RS – ultra-thin lightweight glass, bespoke parts in aluminium and magnesium, carbon fibre tank; in all, 150kgs of weight saving to compensate for the extra weight of the hydrogen fuel cell powering it, which Ford ...

GM Hy-Wire

Rated 3.5 out of 5

Anonymous, 06 June 2007 07:31

The Hy-wire? Sounds like a circus act… Don't be fooled. It’s a very significant bit of technology. When General Motors unveiled AUTOnomy at the Detroit Motor Show five years ago, the oddly compelling hydrogen-powered chassis that looked more like an overblown and high-tech skateboard than the saviour of the motor industry, was seen as something as a watershed moment. Why? ...

Mazda RX-8 Hydrogen RE

Rated 3 out of 5

Anonymous, 03 June 2007 02:36

How does a hydrogen-powered RX-8 work – and no technobabble please... It's simple. The RX-8's rotary engine can run on either petrol or hydrogen, which is stored in liquid form in a second fuel tank. The engine is fitted with a second set of hydrogen injectors that are situated above the intake chamber, and the driver has a switch in ...

BMW Hydrogen 7

Rated 5 out of 5

Anonymous, 16 November 2006 09:42

That’s not a green car. It’s a dirty great limo… Yes, it’s a long-wheelbase BMW 7-series with a 6-litre V12 engine. But it runs on liquid hydrogen as well as petrol, emitting virtually no CO2 when it’s burning H2. As hydrogen is one of nature’s most abundant elements, we’re not about to run out. And it’s a proper car: 0-60mph ...
