Mazda unveils hydrogen-powered RX-8 Hydrogen RE
Author: MotorTorque Team
Published: 13 May 2009
Mazda has unveiled the RX-8 Hydrogen RE in Oslo, as part of an event marking the introduction of hydrogen refuelling stations in the country.
The country is in the process of creating an extended hydrogen infrastructure along the 580-km Oslo to Stavanger route.
Mazda will provide more Norwegian-spec vehicles to the HyNor project under commercial lease contracts beginning this summer.
Mazda also leases the RX-8 sorts coupe in hydrogen guise in Japan, but for the HyNor project it has been developed to meet Norwegian and European specifications with left hand drive and a manual transmission.
It uses a dual-fuel rotary engine that allows the driver to switch between using hydrogen or petrol in areas with no hydrogen infrastructure.
