The Ford Airstream was a concept car that Ford showed at the 2007 North American International Auto Show in Detroit, Michigan. It was a retro-futuristic crossover utility vehicle inspired by the classic Airstream recreational vehicle trailers built since the 1930s and designed in cooperation with Airstream, a division of Thor Industries; Ford called it a futuristic look at crossovers and a modern touring vehicle for recreational travellers, and its design and name may have been influenced by the Ford Aerostar. Its drive system, called HySeries Drive, was a rechargeable plug-in hybrid hydrogen fuel cell powertrain developed with partial funding from the United States Department of Energy and then being tested on a prototype Ford Edge. Electric motors drove the wheels from a lithium-ion battery pack, a Ballard Power Systems hydrogen fuel cell recharged the battery as needed, and the car could also be plugged into an alternating current source. Ford quoted an equivalent of 41 miles per US gallon combined and about 25 miles of pure battery range before the fuel cell began operating.
