Microcab seen here at Frankfurt Motor Show on Mahle stand. Mahle have developed their MEET (Mahle Energy Efficient Transport) project on the Microcab platform. A second (road going) car is currently being developed. More later in 2018.
Microcab Industries has pioneered the design of lean weight hydrogen fuel cell vehicles, specifically designed to improve air quality, with zero emissions at point of use. They are extremely efficient, supporting the global sustainability agenda as resources become more scarce.
Big thanks to the team for all their hard work, after loading the first left hand drive Microcab onto the truck, for its delivery to Germany – April 2017

A paper assessing the efficiency of the Microcab H2EV vehicle was delivered at the European Electric Vehicle Conference in Bruxelles, 3-5 December 2014. There’s an interesting chart on P10 showing Well to Wheel greenhouse gas emissions for a range of vehicles. You can see there that the H2EV scores highly on efficiency due partly to its relatively low mass.
