Interesting news I read in the Rockford Register

Discussion in 'General Motoring' started by Thee Chicago Wolf, Aug 27, 2007.

  1. Caught a small blurb about Hyundai experimenting or potentially
    looking at Hydrogen fuel cell models in Friday's Rockford Register. I
    can't find anything on their web site or in their archives. Just
    though I'd mention it.

  2. We sometimes forget just how big Hyundai is and what capabilities they have.
    Chung Ju-jung would have been proud to see such a thing in the A-do Garage.

    Seems Hyundai's been playing from the sidelines and is only now
    realizing there's other venues they need to be exploring. I forgot to
    mention that the article said they are also looking at Diesel
    technology as well. It should be interesting to see what they do with
    either tech. Cheers.

  5. They clawed their way up to one of the biggies in the auto world, now it is
    time to participate in the future. If the industry is to survive the next
    10 or 20 or 50 years, they have to dump money into R & D.

    Oh yes, definitely. You can't stick with one technology no matter how
    safe it mat be. Eventually, oil will run out and if you're not ahead
    of the curve, you're sunk. The next 10 years should be interesting.
