Ford engineer predicts hydrogen vehicles widespread in 2030
Ford's lead engineer on fuel cell technology said it may take at least 20 years before hydrogen-powered cars become widely available because obtaining the fuel is so costly and difficult.
“I have not seen a viable, affordable plan to convert an economy to hydrogen,” Greg Frenette, Ford’s lead engineer on the technology, said in an interview last week in Connecticut. “It could well take until 2030.”
