Horizon Fuel Cell, Maker of the World's Smallest Hydrogen Fuel Cell Car, Emerging as Leader in Taking the Hydrogen Economy Mainstream Today

SHANGHAI, Nov. 21 -- The H-racer, the world's smallest hydrogen fuel cell car developed by Horizon Fuel Cell, was named as one of the best inventions of the year by TIME magazine, in recognition of the company's innovative approach to taking hydrogen fuel cells into the mass market.

"It may be years before you can buy a Chevy powered by hydrogen fuel cells. Tired of waiting, Shanghai-based Horizon Fuel Cell Technologies decided to design and market the H-racer, a 6-in.-long toy car that does what Detroit still can't," TIME wrote in its review of the H-racer. The H-racer was selected from the hundreds of inventions from around the world reviewed by TIME.

Horizon Fuel Cell is expected to announce the delivery of fuel cell solutions to several other industries in the coming months, and will continue to launch more innovations into the market.
