Diesel gas? Do you mean diesel fuel, the type used by diesel trucks? Or is this some new kind of fuel?

Yeah D!

diesel fuel.....for the farmer's trucks and tractors....They even deliver it to the farmer around here...Report is it's very clean burning.

Here's more information on the development and vehicle now using fuel cells


When will I be able to test drive a fuel cell car or ride on a fuel cell bus? When will fuel cell cars and buses be widely available?


Since 1993, ten of the top 15 automakers have demonstrated over 125 vehicles (including 49 fuel cell buses) powered with Ballard® fuel cells. Today, Ballard powers the largest number of fuel cell vehicles demonstrated to date and is currently integrating real world data gained from these demonstrations to support the development of next generation fuel cells and fuel cell engines.


During 2003, Ballard supplied fuel cells to six of the top 10 automakers, including DaimlerChrysler, Ford, Honda and Mitsubishi, to support their existing automotive fleet introductions in the United States, Japan, Singapore and Europe.


In nine major European cities and in Iceland and Australia, 33 Mercedes-Benz Citaro buses powered with Ballard ® heavy-duty fuel cell engines are operating on city streets. These buses are carrying passengers in daily service in each city as part of a two-year field trial program.


By the end of 2005, we expect our customers to have more than 150 Ballard-powered cars, light trucks and buses on the road in 14 different countries.


The California Fuel Cell Partnership, based in Sacramento, California, conducts ride and drives in fuel cell cars at times throughout the year. Visit their web site at www.cafcp.org.
