THE WORLD’S FIRST HYDROGEN CAR

JUNE 22nd, 2009

A new hydrogen-powered car, whose designs will be “open source” and posted for free use on the web, was unveiled this week in London. Called the Riversimple, it produces less than a third of the greenhouse gas emissions of the Toyota Prius and Honda Insight. The open-source decision was made to speed the car’s commercialisation, with the company hoping entrepreneurs globally will adapt it to local conditions. The Riversimple is the brainchild of Hugo Spowers, a motorsport engineer, and developed in partnership with Cranfield and Oxford universities.
