一直關注生態問題和可持續進步的大眾汽車公司在中國拓展節能環保研究的投入方面再出重拳:2004年十月12日,大眾汽車公司與同濟大學與德國IAV公司在上海一同簽署了合作備忘錄,將在燃料電池汽車技術方面拓展合作研究。同期在上海舉行的2004必比登挑戰賽上,一款環保型定義車吸引了很多喜愛。
外電報道如下:
The Habo No. 1 looks like any one of the legions of Volkswagen sedans in China. But a peek1 under the hood2 reveals an array of chrome canisters instead of the usual engine - the Habo is fueled not by gas but hydrogen peroxide.
This car only emits water vapor3 and oxygen, said He Limei, project director for Shanghai Habo Chemical Technology Co., showing the Habo at an exhibition of ecologically friendly cars outside Shanghai.
Sedan表示私家轎車,小轎車,除此之外還有轎子的意思,等于sedan-chair.
