Mazda Motor Corp. says it has received permission from Japan�s Ministry of Land Infrastructure and Transport to begin testing the Premacy Hydrogen RE Hybrid minivan on public roads.
The minivan incorporates Mazda�s duel-fuel system, which enables the vehicle to run on either hydrogen or gasoline. The system first appeared on the RX-8 Hydrogen RE, which was the world�s first commercially availably hydrogen-powered vehicle in 2006, Mazda says.The Premacy features a hybrid system that combines an electric motor with Mazda�s rotary engine, boosting power 40% and extending the vehicle�s hydrogen-fuel range to 124 miles (200 km), the auto maker says.
The vehicle also boasts a number of environmental technologies that Mazda says help reduce carbon-dioxide emissions, including plant-derived �Mazda Biotechnical Materials,� which will be used in some plastic components and seat covers.read the last entry on : wardsauto.com
