Cast

The Bolivian desert scenes of Quantum of Solace were filmed in neighbouring Chile. The Ford Edge commandeered by Bond has Bolivian registration plate TTR7192 and quite visible "Hydrogen" badging suggesting it is a hydrogen fuel cell powered vehicle - in keeping with the theme of the movie.

In 2007 Ford exhibited a hydrogen-powered concept version of the Edge based on their HySeries Drive hybrid hydrogen fuel cell system, but Ford didn't take the concept into production. It is clear from other badges on the vehicle that the car used in filming Quantum Of Solace was a standard petrol-powered 2008 Ford Edge SEL.
