Sahimo Electric Car: 568km on 1 Liter of Hydrogen


sahimo-hydrogen-car

Something truly amazing comes from Turkey: some students from Sakarya University just released a prototype of what seems to be a car… but a car that consumes no more than a liter of hydrogen in a range of 568km (355 miles)!

Their new hydrogen car, called SAHIMO, weighs 110kg and was voted as the third-most fuel-efficient vehicle in the 26th Shell Eco Marathon contest last year. The student team behind the project is now looking at how to almost double the distance on the same 1 liter of hydrogen: 1000km.

SAHIMO’s prototype wasn’t cheap to build: it costed about $170,000, but I think a production version would be much cheaper. If they made it for two persons, it was great, even if it consumed 2 liters per 568km! Wow.
