RPM News Podcast: Happy Hydrogen & Fuel Cell Day!

In this episode, RPM News Weekly Podcasters, Peter Ciani and Rich Taber discuss the celebration of National Hydrogen & Fuel Cell Day which took place on October 8th (10/08).

That specific date was chosen to reference the atomic weight of hydrogen (1.008). The special day launched four years ago on October 8, 2015 and annually has been officially recognized by both the U.S. Senate and House of Representatives. The topic opens up a discussion about the handful of Fuel Cell vehicles that exist in the U.S. automobile market including vehicles from Hyundai (Tucson and NEXO), Toyota (Mirai) and Honda (Clarity), eventually leading the conversation to the subject of alternative-fuel vehicles in general.

Also, on the agenda are recent press-car Rides of the Week including the Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross, the all-new Honda Passport, the Chrysler Pacifica PHEV S Edition and the Ford F-150 Raptor.

Commentators Ciani and Taber also revisit a recent RPM News Weekly interview with Acura’s Jon Ikeda that featured the refocused performance efforts at Acura that have given birth to the PMC Edition TLX, and an explanation of where the NSX sits in the market.
