New Fuel Cell Car

Post by Mike »

BBC are reporting on a cool looking sports car that will do up to 150 miles to the gallon and travel at speeds up to 100mph - which is suitable for most uses I am sure you will agree! :-D

Looks good, but I'm always a bit unsure about hydrogen cells, especially the whole electricity-intensive bit. Still, anything that wins interest in potentially more efficient forms of transport is good.

They are saying that the Honda braking recovery system manages to reclaim 10% of the braking energy - the car above aimes to get about 50%!

I am surprised they are only managing 150 miles to the gallon, about 3-4 years ago VW managed to get a car with 188mpg. . .
