Hmm. More "suppressed" technology. Read my Best Answer on this question.

No one is trying to suppress any technology, it just takes time. Hydrogen may well be the future for cars but there are still major hurdles to the technology. Hydrogen storage is the main problem right now, the tanks are much to large and heavy to hold enough hydrogen for the current expected range for cars.
As for when, Honda has their first FCV (Fuel Cell Vehicle) scheduled for production in Japan in the next 3 to 4 years.
http://world.honda.com/news/2006/4060108FCX/ As for, "why so long", the fueling infrastructure isn't here yet to support very many FCV's. Actually, California is probably the only state that a hydrogen car could get around in.

Answer 2

My guess would be never, or only when the world completely exhausts its oil supply.Hydrogen engine technology has been in existence since the 1930's and since that time, countless numbers of inventors have produced several energy alternative engines/vehicles that somehow never make it to market......hmmmm?!Think about the economic impact it would have on the world economy if a hydrogen car were to ever make it to market.This is why this technology will always be suppressed.They'll always use the excuse that the technology is too costly to mass produce,when in actuality it will cost less.
