Riversimple pulled the sheet off its ultra-lightweight fuel cell Urban Car today in London and said it delivers a 50-mph top speed, a 200-mile range and fuel economy equivalent to 300 mpg. The company claims it also emits a paltry 30 grams per kilometer of CO2. The car features a 6-kilowatt fuel cell, which is miniscule compared to the 100-kW unit in the Honda FCX Clarity, but the developers say that’s plenty for a vehicle that weighs just 770 pounds.

“This next generation hydrogen-electric car brings electric vehicles into a new stage where range, charge-time and cost are no longer commercial barriers,” said Taras Wankewycz of Horizon Fuel Cell Technologies. The company provided the fuel cell that powers the car.

Porsche scion Sebastian Piëch is a partner in the firm. His family helped finance the project, which was been in the works for nine years and was developed with help from Oxford and Cranfield universities.

certainly ideal for the city and better looking (just) than the smart car!!!

look good and not too bad.. how much?

space!

It's the future.

My understanding of the hydrogen powered car is that its fuel cells use hydrogen to react with oxygen from the atmosphere to produce electricty and one by-product - water vapour. So a hydrogen car shouldn't (in theory at least) produce ANY carbon dioxide at all.

Amazing, It will be interesting to see how this car preforms in the so called market place. !!

In the mean time I will be keeping my LPG/Petrol powered 4 ltr beast for commuting and long trips.

Amazing car... :)
