Ford Tri-Flex Fuel Concept
This sucker burns gas, E85, and hydrogen, but still gets shit for mileage. I don't see the big deal, but I do see people switching over that, "Superchager for hydrogen applications," over to a supercharger for all applications with a simple computer mod. 18 PSI? Yeah, welcome to 500+ HP on gasoline.

Ford Introduces Tri-Flex Fuel Truck Concept
8 January 2006

The F-250 Super Chief tri-flex fuel concept burns gasoline, E85 or hydrogen.
Ford used the North American Internal Auto Show in Detroit as the venue to introduce a tri-flex fuel truck concept that runs on gasoline, E85 ethanol blend or hydrogen.
The F-250 Super Chief, which took its design cues from the Super Chief locomotive, uses the same Ford 6.8-liter V-10 Triton engine deployed in the company’s E450 H2ICE trucks. (Earlier post.)

A supercharger provides an 18 psi boost for hydrogen fuel only. When running on hydrogen, the supercharged V-10 provides up to 12% fuel economy improvement on an energy equivalent basis versus a non-supercharged gasoline V-10. In addition, when operating on hydrogen, the Tri-Flex V-10 generates 99% less CO2 emissions than when running on gasoline.
The engine features a dual injection system: one handling gasoline and E85, the other, developed with Quantum, the hydrogen. The F-250 Super Chief stores 11.2 kg of hydrogen in a 700-bar tank system.
