Serious eco auto geeks and clean green drivers in the GCC will rejoice this week at the launch of the c,mm,n (pronounced ‘common'), the world's first-ever open source car that is fueled by hydrogen.

Until now, the concept of open source had only taken hold of the digital world, where open source software - like Mozilla Firefox and Linux - has been made readily available for to online communities that are able to copy, modify, and then publish their changes.

Now the same idea is being applied to cars, where open source engines give drivers the chance to "potentially modify" the vehicle's fuel source.
