This article is in the DM on line if anyone is interested. PC visited a small H powered car maker. The car itself is very streamlined, not a looker in my view but it is a good start in the new tech.

I'm a big fan of the Riversimple Rasa, both the design and the thinking behind it. Been following the progress of the car via their mailing list for a couple of years now.
Problem is, the market for a very small, aerodynamic 2 seat car like this, geared for low running costs and low environmental impact rather than performance, is absolutely tiny. Much as I admire what they are trying to achieve, I really can't see them having any commercial success until they came up with a model lots of people will actually want. Sadly, in this day and age, that generally means an SUV. Though even something capable of being a family car (Golf or Polo sized) would give them a fighting chance.
The website is riversimple.com, if anyone is interested.
