Delivering plenty of clean power without noxious emissions, the X-TRAIL FCV from Nissan is high-pressure hydrogen-powered fuel cell vehicle for the masses. The vehicle was developed in line with the “Nissan Green Program 2005,” a mid-term environmental action plan outlining the company’s efforts in technology development, recycling strategy and many other initiatives and forms a major part of Nissan’s plan to be carbon neutral by 2010.
The 4th generation of Nissan’s hydrogen-powered car, the X-TRAIL FCV boasts of a top speed of 150Km per hour with a range of over 311 miles and goes from 0-100Km per hour in less than 15 seconds while emitting pure water from its exhaust.
The high-power electric motor comes in at 90 kW or 1.7 times that of its 2002 predecessor and receives its power from a Compact Lithium-ion Battery, featuring a thin, laminated cell, which has half the weight and volume of a conventional battery, yet 1.5 times the output. The pricing for the beast is yet to be announced though you can see it in action below.

I have read in some Auto Journal. that it was comfortable to drive a fuel cell car. You get in, turn the key and off you go, just like with a normal car. Although some of the uphill sections were challenging, the speed was still very impressive.
This electric operated cars are all over the metro, there are lots of productions of different car manufacturers. Auto Mania are all over the place, but keen eye is used when buying this kind of cars. But this is good for environment friendly people and to those that mileage and fuels are issues when buying this kind of needs.
