Fuel of the future: Hydrogen at the corner gas mart {Autoblog}
Apr 30th 2007 7:06PM So there are two fuel problems we are trying to solve. The first is the use of oil (or products sourced from oil/deposits), the second is CO2 formation.
The process uses natural gas or other hydrocarbons (hello, natural gas sits on oil deposits and can be formed along with other hydrocarbons from oil). Does not solve the first.
The process used here take hyrocarbons, adds water (another resource we do not want to be wasting) and results in the desired hydrogen....and CO2...creating the thing we are trying to eliminate by using hydrogen.
You are just moving the CO2 generation from the vehicle to the factory, although it would be easier to scrub there I will grant or turn into other products which require CO2.

May 2nd 2006 6:18AM Wow, I thought Autoblog was a news site, not a history channel. I think I saw this video a year ago and it was not a first run then!
Land Rover LR3 sat-nav used to guide cargo plane {Autoblog}
May 2nd 2006 6:07AM Did not seem that impressive. Any Sat/Nav (if the signal can be received) should display coordinates off road (see comment on sub $100 unit at your local discount chain or box of oatmeal). Ok, so maybe the ground breaking technology is they included a map with Corsica?
I was more impressed with Range Rover using France as a starting point! I peugeot in your general direction.
Spy Shots: Audi RS4 Avant {Autoblog}
Dec 28th 2005 5:14PM Demand is likely the issue, not battery location. My '03 E500 sedan has fold down seats and a battery in the trunk under the floor panel. Worse yet, my '04 E500 wagon also has the battery under the cargo floor. Apparently the venting issues have been solved in a way that puts the powers that be at peace.
The E55 wagon seems to be it for now (again with battery in cargo area).
