THE boss of a major car firm has revealed a strategy to "save Europe's motor industry" with two alternatives to EVs.Mr De Meo, in an open ‘letter to voters’, argued that battery powered engines were not the only way forward for the industry.
He said: "Hydrogen is particularly well suited to HGVs and buses and, in general, all vehicles covering very long distances. "Renault’s new electric Master is one example: to achieve a real range of 500 kilometres, a dual battery-hydrogen fuel cell system would be half the weight of a conventional battery .”"Our proposal is that we should measure the impact of a car over its entire life cycle, from assembly to end-of-life and recycling, rather than focusing solely on energy consumption during use.
