《財富》水晶球:2014全球大事預測
????燃料電池轎車將亮相汽車展 ????現代公司( Hyundai)將在今年春天推出美國第一輛商用燃料電池汽車:氫氣驅動,排氣管只排放水的Tucson緊湊型跨界車。Tucson燃料電池汽車(見上圖)一次性行駛里程為300英里,可在幾分鐘內完成加氣,將以每月499美元的價格對外出租——但由于全美的氫氣基礎設施有限,這項政策最初只面向南加州地區。2014年年底,豐田( Toyota )將成為第二家推出這類轎車的公司。本田汽車(Honda)也將于2015年跟進。通用汽車(General Motors)已經動用119輛雪佛蘭Equinox燃料電池跨界車累計測試了300萬英里,但目前還不打算讓它正式上市。預計新任CEO瑪麗?芭拉也會感受到氫氣散發的熱度。 ????概率: 98% - 100%。 |
????Fuel-cell cars will hit the show room floor ????The first commercial fuel-cell vehicle will be launched in the U.S. this spring by Hyundai: a Tucson compact crossover powered by hydrogen that emits only water from its tailpipe. The fuel-cell Tucson (above) has a range of 300 miles, can be refueled in a matter of minutes, and will lease for $499 a month -- though at first only in Southern California because of the limited hydrogen infrastructure nationwide. Toyota (TM) will be next (in late 2014). Honda (HMC) will follow suit in 2015. General Motors (GM, Fortune 500)has racked up 3 million test miles with a fleet of 119 Chevrolet Equinox fuel-cell crossovers but has no plans to market one. Count on new CEO Mary Barra to feel the hydrogen heat. ????Odds: 98% - 100%. |
