The Riversimple Mk2

Riversimple’s Mk2 production prototype, with third generation powertrain developed throughout the year in a Mk1 vehicle, performed perfectly in its initial trials in late October. Final assembly of the full car is scheduled for December and a public launch is planned for January 2016.

The company will also be crowdfunding early in 2016 to engage the public in the company’s purpose and begin to generate enthusiasm for highly efficient hydrogen cars and the concept of buying mobility as a service rather than buying a car. Announcement of the demonstration, or Beta test, will follow. The vehicle chassis has been displayed at the Advanced Engineering Show at the NEC and on 13th November Mrs. Edwina Hart, The Minister for Economy, Science and Transport in the Welsh Assembly, visited the Riversimple R&D Centre in Llandrindod Wells.
