New Delhi, Aug 27 : In an attempt to control pollution, Union Minister of New and Renewable Energy, Farooq Abdullah, unveiled eco-friendly auto rickshaws that runs on hydrogen fuel at the three-day World Hydrogen Technologies Convention being held at India Habitat Centre here.

The auto rickshaws are powered by hydrogen fuel. They can run at the speed of 50-70 kilometres per hour and can ply in sub-zero temperature up to minus 30 degree Celsius.
