A next-generation fuel cell vehicle is being planned by Nissan Motor Co. and should be available in the 2010s. The “Nissan Green Program 2010” was announced by Nissan Chief Operating Officer Toshiyuki Shiga at a Tokyo press conference.
A new fuel-cell vehicle using an improved fuel stack to perform on par with gasoline-power automobiles is Nissan's goal. Fuel cells combine oxygen with hydrogen to produce power, with only harmless water vapor left over instead of pollution.
