Current state-of-the-art hydrogen storage vessels for fuel cell electric vehicles are cost prohibitive because of the necessary carbon fiber. This project will seek to reduce the cost of these vessels by 25% by using less expensive fibers in a graded construction of the vessel wall. Nextgen Aeronautics, Inc.

Each vehicle has been designed and developed at SEAT’s headquarters in Martorell, and represents a further step in the firm’s vehicle development program, showcasing the benefits of using CNG as the primary fuel. A CNG vehicle reduces CO 2 emissions by about 25% compared to a gasoline-driven equivalent.
