A new mobility solution - The Riversimple

At 300 mpg vs. 65 mpg, the new Riversimple Urban Vehicle puts your Prius to shame. Okay, it's a two seater, powered by hydrogen fuel cells, and has a top end of 50 mph.

Not exactly a competitor for your Prius, but it's a geat urban commuter transportation option. The key feature that makes this a breakthrough is the coupling of high energy, quality fuel cells with higher power density ultra-capacitors.

The ultra-capacitors are charged by the car's regenerative braking system, providing power for acceleration. De-coupling acceleration from cruising allows the Riversimple to achieve a range of 200+ miles on 1 kilo (2.2lbs) of hydrogen.
