China Hydrogen Cars by 2010


According to reports first revealed by the venerable Gasgoo.com China auto portal, SAIC's VW unit will debut a hydrogen Passat -- the Lingyu -- at the LA Auto Show starting this weekend. Shanghai VW plans production of the car by 2010.


Chinese auto companies appear to gain on their American partners (and rivals, at least in terms of market share) in alternative fuel technologies. BYD Auto plans electric cars and got a show of confidence from Warren Buffett with a sizeable shares purchase. And other technologies are being implemented such as continuously variable transmissions (CVT) which the German firm Bosch may transfer to Chinese car makers.
