1st Singapore made car to be run on hydrogen

The first eco-friendly car to run on hydrogen was launched on April 20, 2009 at the National University of Singapore (NUS). The car, known as KRUCE or Kent Ridge Urban Concept Ecocar, expels water as exhaust and is twice as energy efficient as internal combustion engine vehicles, according to fuel-cell technology data. It will compete against 66 teams from 37 countries at the Shell eco-marathon to be held from May 7 to 9 at the EuroSpeeday Lausitz, a race track located near Klettwitz in eastern Germany. The annual contest will see cars perform seven laps (22 Km) around the circuit within 53 minutes. The winner, who stands to win 1000 Euro, is determined by the car which consumes the least amount of fuel during the distance covered.

Comments: the winner will be the most Eco-friendly. Very interesting…
