摘要

In may 2004 william clay ford jr, paid a rare visit to Ford Motor's research and development labs a few miles from his office at Ford's Dearborn, Mich, headquarters. He wanted to get a closer look at Ford's progress on alternative engine technologies. A group of scientists eagerly talked about their work on such things as gas-electric hybrid engines and fuel cells. But what really captured Bill Ford's imagination was a plain old piston engine, just like the ones that his great-grandfather put into Model Ts. But this one would run on hydrogen instead of gasoline, emitting no carbon dioxide. A hydrogen internal combustion engine could be a relatively inexpensive bridge to the hydrogen economy of the future. Fuel cells—a long-promised technology, still unaffordable—would come later. Better yet, only one other company, BMW, is seriously working on a similar hydrogen engine. Ford's biggest domestic rival, General Motors, is looking past such interim solutions to develop fuel-cell vehicles that will hit the road decades hence. Here was something that would at once differentiate Ford from its competitors and help Bill Ford pursue his deferred dream of making Ford an environmental leader.
