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
