When I think of hybrid automobiles, my mind instantly says Hybrid = Battery + Gasoline Engine. Not any longer. The folks at Mazda are preparing to release a new sort of hybrid - a “Dual Fuel” vehicle that runs on Gasoline and Hydrogen.

Does that mean it can use both hydrogen and gasoline simultaneously or do they share combustion chambers? BMW have already developed the Hydrogen7 which is basically a 760Li with the 6.0 litre V12 adapted to run on both hydrogen and petrol. Still good to see Mazda joining the party, since no one else has done a Rotary hydrogen vehicle as far as I know yet.
