The Denver Auto Show boasts more than 20 alternative-fuel vehicles including the only commercial hydrogen-powered vehicle in the state.
"We have all types of green machines here," show producer Barbara Pudney says. "You're going to get that feel of anything and everything that is green, and where auto manufacturers are going with their green machines."
Electric, hybrid, natural gas and clean diesel vehicles are all part of the third-largest auto show in the country, which continues through Sunday at the convention center in downtown Denver.
The Mercedes-Benz F-Cell is the only hydrogen vehicle in Colorado outside of the National Renewable Energy Laboratory in Golden. For now, the lab is the only place to refuel the F-Cell in Colorado. But as more fueling stations are built, manufacturers are expected to offer more hydrogen vehicles. The F-Cell could be available more widely next year.
The vehicle's only emission is water vapor. "What could be better than that?" Pudney says.
Here are a few other things to note at the show:
