If you’ve ever been out walking, jogging or cycling and had a close encounter with a motor vehicle, you know how scary it can be. In fact, approximately 125,000 accidents occur each year between pedestrians and automobiles. Of that number, roughly 2,800 involve so-called “quiet cars,” like hybrid and electric vehicles.

When hydrogen burns by interacting with oxygen in the air, it becomes water. This makes it an ideal fuel, because it releases energy without contributing to carbon emissions.
