First UK H car

Looks ok.
The greater range makes it smarter than electric depending on how you use it.
I guess that so long as their is a hydrogen depot near enough to you then it's a credible alternative.
The main thing here though is that it is British and this is exactly what we are good at and should be doing.

is there a picture of the car?
Notably less spac than many.
Car is lease for 20 years at £200/month. You don't pay for the H when you fill up, but are charged 15p a mile.
I think that's quite a clever business model.
Larger cars in the planning and a rumour that the designs will be 'open plan' allowing people to contribute, maybe other companies design different bod options etc.

Now that's a 'green' car I've got time for.
Any idea of the 'environmental impact' on seperating the hydrogen beforehand?
Obviously non of these are proven but this: http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/2002AGUFM.A72C0192T or http://www.ehow.com/facts_5960331_environmental-im... explains most of the possible impacts of hydrogen production and emission.Any idea of the 'environmental impact' on seperating the hydrogen beforehand?

There has been a few hydrogen cars around Birmingham uni for a while now, they seem to do the job quite nicely, I think they are used for doing the post and other on site jobs.
Have noticed a few people walking out in front of them without realising there is a car coming though but I guess that is just the students many seem to have some sort of idea of invincibility when it comes to road traffic.

p.s. love the doors!
Looking at it from a London perspective, a range of 240 miles would cover the daily commute.
You'd be doing around 10 to 15 miles a day and the odd stuff around and about.
£200 a month and 15p a mile to have something sitting outside seems fine.
A nice touch would be an Ocado style service where they filled the car up for you at a time slot of your choosing.
Birmingham Uni has been working on hydrogen fuelled vehicles they have a hydrogen powered barge, and have created a method of storing hydrogen. info here
Hydrogen fuel only really works as an demand smoothing method, similar to the Dinorwig power station the ideal method seems to be nuclear running 24/7 and during the slack times generate hydrogen.
