Mazda RX-8 Hydrogen RE

By Bob Holland | March 14, 2007

Mazda is working a rotary engine that runs on either hydrogen or gas. It's your choice, and it's with a flip of a switch. In fact they have delivered one to the Japan Automobile Research Institute (JARI) for further evaluation.

Mazda has been independently developing hydrogen cars with rotary engines in an effort to help promote an environmentally friendly society...

It attained approval to test the Mazda RX-8 Hydrogen RE vehicle on public roads in Japan from the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport (MLIT) in October 2004. Since March 2006, Mazda has supplied six vehicles to government and private enterprises for use in various events and initiatives.

Some taxi cabs in Brazil can run on 4 types of fuel: gas, ethanol, a mix, or CNG.

They use CNG most of the time because operating costs are dirt cheap there.
