Although
Volkswagen is known for its
diesels, the German marque is glad to show that it's also a player on the fuel-cell battlefield. How? By
shipping 16 fuel-cell Passat Lingyu sedans to the U.S. from
China. The cars were brought to the California Fuel Cell Partnership facility in West Sacramento for long-term testing. Remarkably,
VW shipped the somewhat "old" models, which are at least one year old. What's more, these cars had a few issues when they were tested by journalists, like shuddering acceleration. Well, at least VW can show that, like other automakers (
Toyota, for instance), it can keep its stake in
hydrogen vehicle development, despite
those DOE cuts.
