This isn’t exactly new information, it’s something a friend of mine dug up. But it’s new to me, and very interesting. The Ford Model U was a concept car from 2003 that ran on a hydrogen engine. But the most interesting thing about it was the soy and corn based tires, panels, and engine oil.
I’ve no idea how well it stood up in the rain, or in crash tests, but it proves that Ford has been at least *thinking* about something other than the status quo.
