Suzuki's answer to rising oil prices


Suzuki has got approval from the Japanese government to test a hydrogen powered SX4 on public roads.

This fuel cell vehicle is supposedly running on GM's FCV technology.

Following are the Technical specifications:
- 5 Seat capacity
- 4.190x1.730.1585mm
- 2.500 mm wheelbase
- Fuel-Cell output = 80kW
- Motor output = 68kW
- 70MPa high-pressure hydrogen tank
- Fuel type = High pressure hydrogen
- Maximum Speed 150km/h
- Range = 250km.

Would Maruti dare to manufacture such a car in India,for the consumer faced with ever increasing fuel bills lets certainly hope so.But even then FCV's are at their nascent stage and for a long time to come[2015 atleast say the japanese] don't expect them to be mass-produced.
