Ross McKenzie, managing director of the À¶Ý®ÊÓƵ Centre for Automotive Research, spoke to Amanda Lang about fuel cell vehicles on .
He said the fuel problem is not insurmountable, particularly if government and automotive fleets adopt the hydrogen car as a green alternative.
"Hydrogen would be more readily deployed in an urban environment where the infrastructure investment is less, whereas electric cars in a more rural environment, where you just have to plug-in," he said in the interview.
If Toyota can sell the car for under $50,000, it will attract some early adopters. It's likely that electric cars and fuel cell cars will share the road with consumers choosing between them, McKenzie added.
