Mazda could produce hydrogen combustion car in five years

If the necessary infrastructure was in place, Mazda could begin mass production of its hydrogen combustion engine in five to ten years, project manager Akihiro Kashiwagi said during a press event in Norway today. Kashiwagi said Mazda was now working on developing a production process for the car, according to a German Press Agency report. Mazda was in Norway to celebrate the opening of the country's first hydrogen filling station. The event also marked the first on-road showing of the Mazda RX-8 Hydrogen RE outside Japan.
