过去，材料创新通过新材料引发的技术改变了社会，为社会增添了新的价值。在当今世界，工程师和科学家们期望发明新材料来解决全球气候变化问题。对于交通运输领域，材料工程师面临的挑战是将石油世界转变为可持续发展的世界。在目睹了近期高油价及其对全球经济的不利影响后，现在是我们加快这一变革努力的时候了。各行业正在解决石油和二氧化碳等全球能源问题，以及氮氧化物和颗粒物等当地环境问题。氢是最有希望提供无碳、无排放和无油交通的候选者。因此，工程师们正在努力将这项技术带入现实社会。本文介绍了车辆技术的最新进展，以及用于延长续航里程和确保加油便利性的储氢技术，并要求材料科学家与工业界合作应对全球变暖。
In the past, material innovation has changed society through new material-induced technologies, adding a new value to society. In the present world, engineers and scientists are expected to invent new materials to solve the global problem of climate change. For the transport sector, the challenge for material engineers is to change the oil-based world into a sustainable world. After witnessing the recent high oil price and its adverse impact on the global economy, it is time to accelerate our efforts towards this change. Industries are tackling global energy issues such as oil and CO2, as well as local environmental problems, such as NOx and particulate matter. Hydrogen is the most promising candidate to provide carbon-free, emission-free and oil-free mobility. As such, engineers are working very hard to bring this technology into the real society. This paper describes recent progress of vehicle technologies, as well as hydrogen-storage technologies to extend the cruise range and ensure the easiness of refuelling and requesting material scientists to collaborate with industry to fight against global warming.
