Hysun3000 fuel cell velomobile

Wonderful!
And the good news is:
" World record with HYSUN3000, Freiburg 14.9.2004
The HYSUN3000 is the first fuel cell vehicle of the world with official approval and homologation for road service, passing a distance of 1643 kilometers with just one tank filling of hydrogen. The consumption of hydrogen of the HYSUN3000 is 110g per 100km and the equivalence of gasoline is 0.41 Liters per 100km.
The current results point out, passing the distance of 3000km with 3kg hydrogen is a realistic target.

Second World record with HYSUN3000, Barcelona 23.09.2004
The HYSUN3000 is the first fuel cell vehicle with official approval and homologation for road service of the world passing a distance of 3000km with 3,3kg hydrogen consumption in total. The vehicle kept its consumption of 110g hydrogen per 100km throughout the entire tour (equivalent to 0.4l gasoline per 100 km).

Therewith the HYSUN-team has achieved its main goal with the fuel cell vehicle: the distance of 3000 km was passed with only 3,265kg of hydrogen.
"
And the bad news is:
"The HYSUN3000 is fuelled with hydrogen (30.08.2004)
The HYSUN3000 has been prepared for its record drive and has been filled with gaseous hydrogen under a pressure of 350bar. The tank volume consists of 78l.

78 litre of hydrogen at 350 atmospheres!!!!!!!!!!!!! :shock: :shock: :shock:
In that small box!!!!!!!!!!!!

As I thought, it's an adapted Aerorider (the most elegant of velomobiles IMHO)
