驱动搬运车的氢出自一个置有一种镧、镍、铝的合金金属氢化物的箱体。至于这种金属氢化物则是由松下(National)化学实验室所开发的产品;这种合金在一个小时之内吸收的氢足以提供给搬运车以二百公斤、米的能量。当加热这种合金,被其吸收的氢即被释放出来、通过泵这些氢进入引擎、以低压状态直接喷射进入四个气缸; The hydrogen that drives the van comes from a box of alloyed metal hydride with a lanthanum, nickel, and aluminum. The metal hydride is a product developed by the National Chemical Laboratory; this alloy absorbs enough hydrogen in an hour to provide the truck with 200 kilograms of energy. When this alloy is heated, the hydrogen absorbed by it is released and the hydrogen is pumped into the engine by the pump and injected directly into the four cylinders at a low pressure.
