Hydrogen cars
Light and fast
This racing car is powered by hydrogen. For the most effi cient fuel consumption, weight was reduced wherever possible, while minimising the rolling resistance. The steering unit, inclusive of the steering rod, is made of carbon fibres and is mounted with igubal® flange bearings and igubal® rod end bearings. These allow a weight reduction of about 30 per cent compared to other solutions.
