Norway will get a taste of Mazda RX-8 RE
Norwegians can now welcome with open arms the Mazda RX-8 Hydrogen RE Rotary Engine. This was made possible after Mazda Motor Corporation has announced last October 17, 2008 that the company has brought the vehicle to Norway.
The project of Mazda was in partnership with the Hydrogen Road of Norway project. The project aims to effectively establish a clean energy transport system in the country that will be based on hydrogen fuel. On the same project, it is expected that Mazda will lease the organization with 30 vehicles after the on-road validation. The project is significant in a sense that this will be the first time that this car from Mazda will be put to use outside Japan.
The RX-8 Hydrogen RE is one of the cars of Mazda that takes to heart the motto and the slogan of the company, and takes to heart as well the company’s commitment to clean energy without compromising the performance and reliability on the road. Mazda is a well-recognized name when it comes to many industry-leading technologies. For example the car manufacturer is known as the only carmaker in the world to produce the RENESIS rotary engine. This kind of engine is known for its unique architecture, and the unique architecture allows for the better combustion.
This Mazda car has dual-fuel capability as well. This means this car can switch in between petrol and hydrogen. This makes the car a perfect addition to European countries where infrastructure for hydrogen is already set-up. A validation process will be in order before the car will be used on the road. The validation process means that the car will be exhibited to potential customers who are interested in leasing the hydrogen vehicle. Mazda executives are pleased with the project and plan to develop more of these cars.
