Evening all,

Just wondering if anyone knows if Ford is playing around with Fuelcells and the expedtion. Seems like it might be a great way to go for our big Truck.

That Toyota SUV getting 68mpg on it seems like it would be a great move for our guy.

What do ye think?
Any links would be great too.

Oil companies won't go for it, in turn, it will never fly commercially.

You don't think so?
Honda and Toyota I have read on several sites say they we bring out vehicles with FCs at equvical prices to the current combustion engines.

I know I would be interested in a expedition that could get 68 or so mpg and have little exhaust coming out of it.

I don't see the current EV vehicles answering my needs with the truck.

Oh I love the idea and I would buy one if the price was right. There is just so many politics involved when you are talking about taking away money from the gas/oil industry.
