With a can of Red Bull in your hand, you’ll be no match to the Airstream’s HySeries Drive plug-in hydreogen fuel cell powertrain. The latter is already on the road, and breaking hearts, in a Ford Edge prototype. The HySeries Drive delivers the combined city/highway equivalent fuel economy of 41mpg. The fuel cell’s sole function is to recharge the vehicle lithium ion battery pack. This allows it to work like a portable generator instead of an engine as had been the case in previous Ford Fuel cell vehicles.
