Lexus Introduces a Hydrogen Combustion UTV/ROV

[Alex]

Earlier this week — and after much anticipation — Lexus unveiled the new 2022 LX 600 SUV. It's a luxurious American version of the new Land Cruiser and shares a V6 powertrain with the new Toyota Tundra pickup. The LX wasn't a shock; it's just about the most characteristically "Lexus" vehicle one could imagine, except perhaps the LS sedan. But Lexus also released a different vehicle you would not have expected this week.

At the end of the LX announcement video, Lexus teased a new mobility concept called the "Recreational Off-Highway Vehicle," or ROV. It's an all-terrain vehicle — or, as we will choose to interpret it, a supremely badass golf cart — that runs on a hydrogen combustion engine. Sadly, Lexus did not include an utterly superfluous spindle grille, although the shape of the front end will certainly remind you of that shape.

An ATV makes perfect sense as a showcase for hydrogen combustion. One of the technology's most significant drawbacks for current production use is that it can't produce as much power as gasoline combustion engines with the same size engine footprint. So a low-speed wood path cruiser could get away with far less power than a recreational on-highway vehicle.

now that makes sense... screw batteries

Hydrogen combustion and Hydrogen Fuel Cells are the only "green" solutions that makes sense.  Too bad finding fueling stations still isn't anywhere close to where we need to be.

Well, there no funding for it from our idiot president.. Its not one of his big donors.  BUT, He just spent $11.9 million  for veterinarians to insert I.U.D.s into WILD HORSES to cut their population .. Seems wild horses are running amuck all over  America now???   But PETA is claiming its violating horses  REPRODUCTIVE rights....LOL  go figure 

 

Ok so I made up the PETA part but the $11M horsey IUDs is real.. .....LETS  GO  BRANDON!
