Tata Motors and ISRO are currently working on the prototype of the world's cleanest vehicle that will run on hydrogen and leave behind nothing more than a trail of water vapour.
An agreement for the pilot project to see whether hydrogen can be used to fuel automobiles has been signed and the work started, said G Madhavan Nair, Chairman of the ISRO.
IF the prototype does well there are also plans to use Hyrogen fuel cell powered cars and buses. The proposed vehicle would use ISRO's rocket technology. It would not have any engine as it would be driven with the electricity generated from fuel cells and the only byproduct would be water.
I remember about 15 yrs ago when our High School Physics teacher first told us about Hydrogen powered vehicles. Now thats what i call technology in action.
A bit of a background on ISRO:
The prime objective of ISRO is to develop space technology and its application to various national tasks. ISRO has established two major space systems, INSAT for communication, television broadcasting and meteorological services, and Indian Remote Sensing Satellites (IRS) system for resources monitoring and management. ISRO has developed two satellite launch vehicles, PSLV and GSLV, to place INSAT and IRS satellites in the required orbits.
