Mazda RX-8 Hydrogen RE to be shown in ONS2006 Exhibition

In the 2004 North American International Auto Show, the Mazda RX-8
Hydrogen RE concept car was unveiled. Although the show did not
featureMazda MX6 parts, Mazda had stolen the show when they featured
the RX-8 rotary engine system that was designed to run on two
different fuels, hydrogen and oxygen.
Following the success of the Mazda RX-8 Hydrogen RE in Japan last
March, the Mazda Motor Corporation will present the RX-8 Hydrogen RE
at the ONS2006 (Offshore Northern Seas 2006). The ONS2006 is an energy
exhibition that will be held in Stavanger, Norway from August 22 to
25. The exhibition will feature the international concern on energy
conservation and challenges encountered in the energy industry.
Along with the ONS2006, the national HyNor Project will open the first
hydrogen filling station in Norway to promote the utilization of
hydrogen as an alternative fuel.
"The hydrogen station in Stavanger is the first step of a long and
exciting journey for hydrogen, and we are very proud to have Mazda
present at the opening. Hydrogen has always suffered from the classic
chicken-and-egg debate. The car manufacturers wait for a fuel
distribution network to be set up, and the fuel suppliers wait for
cars to be produced. In the end we decided to take a risk and build
the first station and as you can see, the first cars have already
arrived," said Brage W. Johansen, Manager of Hydrogen Group, Statoil
ASA and member of the HyNor National Board....

Oh, two *different* fuels. That's good. So when
I can't find any hydrogen, I can run it off of oxyen?

Probably not lol but by their thinking it has 3 fuels as the Wankel/Renesis
rotary intentionally burns oil too so it is actually 3 fuels
