Congressman Eliot Engel recently test drove the Ford HySeries Edge, the world’s first hydrogen fuel cell vehicle with plug-in capability, in downtown Washington.
The HySeries Edge is an advanced vehicle powered by electricity from the grid and an on-board hydrogen fuel cell. The full range of the Edge on battery and hydrogen is 225 miles, although some drivers have driven as much as 400 miles depending on conditions.
Engel has introduced legislation to encourage the production of these vehicles to reduce America’s dependency on foreign oil.

Welcome to the Norwood News, a bi-weekly community newspaper that primarily serves the northwest Bronx communities of Norwood, Bedford Park, Fordham and University Heights. Through our Breaking Bronx blog, we focus on news and information for those neighborhoods, but aim to cover as much Bronx-related news as possible. Founded in 1988 by Mosholu Preservation Corporation, a not-for-profit affiliate of Montefiore Medical Center, the Norwood News began as a monthly and grew to a bi-weekly in 1994. In September 2003 the paper expanded to cover University Heights and now covers all the neighborhoods of Community District 7. The Norwood News exists to foster communication among citizens and organizations and to be a tool for neighborhood development efforts. The Norwood News runs the Bronx Youth Journalism Heard, a journalism training program for Bronx high school students.
