Morgan breaks with tradition with plan for fuel-cell prototype

The key to delivering this step change in energy efficiency lies in a combination of factors, including weight reduction and a different design approach. Costing a total of £1.9m, with a mix of industry and DTI funding, the two and a half year project has been broken down into the following areas of responsibility.

BOC - Developing the hydrogen refuelling plant

Cranfield University - Systems simulation , on-board computing and control networks

Oxford University - Design and control of re-generative electric motors

QinetiQ - Developing the proton exchange membrane fuel cell

Morgan Motor Company - Building the finalised design using light weight technology

OSCar - Overall system design and architecture
