Europe’s biggest fleet of hydrogen powered cars can be found in Iceland, following the recent arrival of ten new hydrogen cars to the country. Iceland’s total fleet now consists of 22 such vehicles.
Iceland New Energy and the car dealer Brimborg took possession of the new cars at a dockside ceremony yesterday.
By means of comparison, Visir.is points out that the whole of Germany is home to 19 hydrogen powered cars. However, starting in 2015 it is expected that several hundred thousand such cars will become available on the market.

These Icelandic cars were on British TV a couple of weeks ago. Someone drank the liquid coming out of the exhaust (ie water) to show how clean the cars are.
I see …. was this ‘someone’ Prince of Wales or Mr. Gordon Brown ?
Yeah, I remember being at Ton Son Nhut Air Base and watching someone from Dow Chemicals drink Agent Orange to demonstrate how harmless it was to the troops.
I’m fairly certain he died of cancer shortly after that.
