New Developments in Fuel Efficient Cars

While Californians may love their cars, it seems the Teutonic peoples are more likely to love their cars running efficiently. Switzerland’s Paul Scherrer Institute and French tiremaker Michelin recently received plaudits for their fuel-cell powered vehicle. Meanwhile, German Automaker Mercedes is working up the E200 NGT to run on natural gas, which would have 20% fewer Carbon Dioxide emissions than the regular model. Of course, Natural Gas might not be so viable a fuel for California unless the infrastructure is built to import more of it into the State!
