Mazda begins leasing world's first H2 powered - Rotary Hybrid

The new Premacy Hydrogen RE Hybrid concept combines the hydrogen rotary engine and a hybrid drivetrain. It was first showcased as a reference exhibit at the 40th Tokyo Motor Show in 2007 and is now under development to begin commercial leasing in fiscal year 2008. While borrowing some technology from the RX-8 Hydrogen RE, such as the dual-fuel system that also enables the car to run on gasoline, this car boasts a hybrid system that substantially increases its driving range and power.
