Default Ford delivers Hydrogen buses

Ford Delivers Ultra-Clean Hydrogen Powered buses to Detroit Metropolitian Airport

I'd like to believe it's for the right reasons but hey every little helps!

Are there any hydrogen buses already in production in the US?

Default Hydrogen.

I really don't know if there are any. The maine reason is because I have never heard of them.

Isn't this interesting?

Ford and other automakers in the USA have balked at providing the same fuel efficiency within their own shores, that they were required to provide to the rest of the world. Now, all of a sudden, they can deliver hydrogen buses.

Didn't the US government provide bail out money to them not too long ago? Why do I feel raped?

Yeah, it is really interesting and a bit disturbing. My dad worked for Ford in the engineering/patent law section for many years and he tried to talk to them about alternative energy sources to no avail. Wonder what the motivation is? Neverless, if it helps, I am all for it.

I think Ford is doing whatever it can to boost sales. Although Ford has been around for years, it is losing out to foreign auto makers.

For sure Ford and all the other american car makers are losing out. We wouldn't buy a Ford on a bet; we have owned two Subarus and we really love them. As for hydrogen buses, I'm glad Ford can make them but the question remains, as everyone has stated, why couldn't they before?

That's good news! Ford should have done this a long time ago though. Nonetheless, most of us are really glad that they finally thought about this. We do hope for the better. Hopefully, so does Ford.

I know that when I buy my next vehicle, it won't be one built by a U.S. auto maker. I am tired of being soaked by companies that purposely gouge U.S. citizens!
