Hydrogen car :: Equivalent to 300 M.P.G.

The UK's first Hydrogen fuelled car from Riverspeed. They insist this is not a prototype, with Leicester agreeing to take the first 30 cars prior to it being available to the public.
The two seat vehicle was designed by a small team of British motorsport engineers and was built at Silverstone. It has a maximum cruising speed of 50 mph and a range on one tank
of hydrogen of at least 200 miles. With a body made of lightweight composites it weighs
only 350kg and thanks to novel design principles is able to do the equivalent of 300 miles
per gallon. Hydrogen produces nothing but a few drops of water from the exhaust,
although to achieve true “zero emission” credentials the fuel must be produced from
renewable energy sources.
Riversimple will generate revenue in a very different way to other car companies;

instead of selling a car as a product, we will sell mobility as a service. Customers will
pay a fixed monthly and per mile charge, getting the flexible mobility that owning a car
provides, without the burdens; tax, fuel costs, insurance and vehicle depreciation. This
sale of service model motivates Riversimple to build cars with a long operating life (up
to 20 years) that are highly economical to use, since we receive revenue throughout
the life of the car and also pay the costs throughout.
