Riversimple revealed new hydrogen-powered car

Every aspect of the Rasa has been created and interrogated for simplicity, efficiency, lightness, strength, affordability, safety and sustainability. And the name Rasa is a nod to that blank sheet of paper – Tabula Rasa means ‘Clean slate’ in Latin.

This car is a two seater ‘network electric’ car, powered by a hydrogen fuel cell.  Weighing 580kg - about half the weight of a small petrol or diesel car - it has a potential range of up to 300 miles (482 km) on 1.5kg of hydrogen - a fuel-economy equivalent of 250mpg.

Riversimple will produce a run of 20 trial Rasas to be used by individuals later this year, in what it calls a beta trial.

The car will not be sold but offered under a service agreement, with repairs, maintenance, insurance and fuel expenses covered by a fixed monthly-fee, with the aim of lowering the cost of hydrogen-powered motoring.
