Hydrogen sedan and wagon from Riversimple

Firm Riversimple of Llandrindod wells, known to us for double model Rasa, which need on average only 0.31 kg of hydrogen for every hundred kilometers. For comparison, the Toyota Mirai in the mixed cycle must 0,76 kg/100 km.

Having such an attractive result, the British decided to build on that momentum in Race ideas — minimalist design, low weight, high efficiency of all parts of the power plant. The company announced the expansion of range: the plan added a four-seater convertible and delivery van.





Closed wheel sedan bring to mind a variety of sleek models from the legendary Dehesa to the Volkswagen XL1.



If the van appears in this form, it will be one of the most futuristic cars on the market.

While both cars exist only in the form of sketches. For the appearance models of the company Riversimple, as before, meets Austrian Christopher Reitz, who previously worked at Audi and Nissan, Alfa Romeo and FIAT. The tank capacity for hydrogen barely there is noticeably changed (the Race she is 1.5 kg) as the main parameters of the power plant. 'Cause the mileage to fall slightly, mainly due to the increase in curb weight. We will remind, city car Rasa weighs 580 kg and runs on one filling of 483 km.

 



 

Model Rasa sent to beta testing customers. For testing will be made two dozen samples. Serial production will start in 2018. A business plan implies that some small factories will be collected a few thousand cars a year, but not for sale but for rent.

 

At the end of April, the company Riversimple stated that he expects new proposals from investors and are willing to sell their shares. By the conviction of the British people, their project is worth supporting, even not for personal gain, but for the sake of future generations. They say that petrol and diesel vehicles — one of the largest sources of air pollution that causes respiratory diseases, asthma, heart attack and so on. Because of the proliferation of small hydrogen cars in cities — a way to improve the health of the population.

 

P. S. And remember, only by changing their consumption — together we change the world! ©
