丰田氢动力车试驾报告氢动力车是名副其实的零排放汽车，从它的排气管里排出的只有水蒸气而已。
驾 驶氢动力车时，首先触动你的是车辆的静音和加速性能——它能释放很大的扭 矩。
这类车的零部件也比常规汽车要少， 不再有引擎、 昂贵的变速箱或传动系统， 所以维修保养也会简单便宜得多。
加一缸氢需要多长时间？不到四分钟。
最近在报道“氢气高速公路”（Hydrogen Highway）时我特别提到，几乎所有主要汽车 厂商，从丰田（Toyota）到宝马（BMW） ，都 计划几年内要推出氢动力汽车。
想象一下一 辆不是用电池而是用铂金燃料电池驱动的电 动车，它将氢这种宇宙中最丰富的元素注入 电池就能获得电力，驱动附着在车轮上的电 机。
现在这一前景看来似乎更加光明了，因 为加州众议会（California Assembly）上周 通过了一项议案，批准在未来十年间拨款2亿 美元建造至少100座加氢站。
州长杰瑞•布朗 表示他将签署这项议案。
它的理念是，100座 加氢站这个规模足以让那些大品牌在加州销 售这种新能源车。
在康涅狄格州的瓦林福德试驾一辆丰田的氢 动力样车——改装的汉兰达（Highlander） SUV，并且在美国东北部仅有的两座加氢站 （另一个在纽约的肯尼迪机场）中的一座为 这车补充燃料。

我试驾的 这辆改装汉兰达加一缸氢能开300英里，而且 四分钟不到就能加满。
丰田量产版的全新氢 动力车将在今年11月举办的东京汽车展上亮 相。
当我开到91号洲际公路的一个办公园区 的加氢站时，我见到了拉里•摩尔斯洛普。
他 就是这家公司在运营 SunHydro 加氢站。
去年When I last wrote about the hydrogen highway, I noted that just about every major car company, from Toyota (TM) to GM (GM) to BMW, was planning to launch a hydrogen-powered car within a few years. Think of an electric car that's powered not by a battery but by a platinum fuel cell. Pump hydrogen, the most abundant element in the universe, into the cell and electrons get stripped from the fuel providing a current that drives electric motors attached to your car's wheels. Now, that prospect seems even brighter as the California Assembly last week passed a bill that provides $200 million over the next 10 years to fund at least 100 hydrogen stations. sign it. The idea is that 100 hydrogen stations will create enough critical mass for the big automakers to sell their cars in the region. A few weeks after my article posted, I got the opportunity to drive a prototype of Toyota's hydrogen car, a modified Highlander SUV, in Wallingford, Conn. and to fill up at one of only two hydrogen stations in the northeast. (The other is at JFK airport in New York City.) What strikes you first when driving a hydrogen vehicle is the quiet and the acceleration -- it puts out lots of torque. These cars also have far fewer moving parts than other cars -- no engine, fancy transmission, or drivetrain -- so it will be much simpler and cheaper to maintain. The retrofitted Highlander I drove can travel 300 miles on a tank of fill. The production version of Toyota's new文章发表几周后，我就获得了一个机会， Governor Jerry Brown indicated that he will是 Proton Onsite 公司氢燃料系统的副总裁， hydrogen and takes less than four minutes to该公司共有13辆氢动力汉兰达可供使用，他 表示：“这些车几乎没什么毛病。
