I knew a plug-in fuel cell vehicle would emerge, and I knew the best application for fuel cells is trucking.  The future has arrived.  See more pics on Vision Industries homepage here.

LOS ANGELES--(Business Wire)--
Vision Industries Corp. (OTCBB:VIIC), producers of the zero emission, plug-in electric/hydrogen fuel cell hybrid, Tyranosemi truck, are pleased to announce that Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger introduced the Tyrano to the people of California, at the East Steps of the State Capitol building in Sacramento, the morning of Oct. 20, 2009.

Vision Industries Zero Emission Tyrano truck is initially designed to replace diesel and LNG short haul trucks in California. There are currently more than 100,000 short haul trucks in California and more than 1 million nationwide. Traditionally, short haul trucking is done by trucks that are on the later part of their life cycle, meaning less efficient and more polluting trucks. Also, short-haul trucking predominantly occurs in populated urban areas, affecting the health and quality of life of millions of California residents.

"This truck produces zero greenhouse gas emissions and is proof you can protect the environment and the economy at the same time. This is exactly the kind of technology we need to keep California on a path toward a greener future," said Governor Schwarzenegger.

Secretary for Environmental Protection Linda Adams quoted, "This product is the direct result and proof of California's Environmental Policies."

Vision CEO Martin Schuermann stated that "these trucks are 30% to 40% cheaper to operate than diesel trucks. We expect a strong market demand once these trucks are in the hands of California truckers."
