Is The Riversimple Hydrogen Car Britain’s Tata Tano?

THE Riversimple hydrogen fuel cell car is on its way to Leicester. Can it be the UK’s own Tata Tano? Inventor Hugo Spowers motored the prototype at De Montfort Hall in Leicester. In 2010, Riversimple will site and operate a refuelling point for fleet of 30 cars. The car, constructed at Silverstone, can reach top speed of 50 mph and can go 200 miles on a single tank of hydrogen – equivalent of 300 miles per gallon. It weighs 350 kg. Would you drive one? Or drive over one?
