Nearly two years ago, BAC launched an updated version of the Mono (see the related links below). The revised single-seater arrived with a new design, more power, and less weight than before, and kept its road-legal status in Europe where it is meeting the emissions, noise, and safety regulations. Now, Briggs Automotive Company has announced it is working on a hydrogen powertrain for the sports car.
The British manufacturer has published the first few teaser images with the alternatively-powered Mono, though the photos don’t reveal design changes compared to the combustion model. For this new project, BAC is partnering with hydrogen powertrain engineering company Viritech, which will work on the FCEV powertrain hiding underneath the familiar skin. Funding the development of the “engine” will be the Niche Vehicle Network Feasibility Study Grant, with which the firm will study developing a hydrogen powertrain for niche vehicle applications.
