The Sustainable Vehicle Engineering Centre (SVEC) at Oxford Brookes University is a unique platform for the whole of the automotive sector. The centre will deal with current and future challenge facing the whole life of the vehicle. Current issues concern the disassembly, disposal and the recycling and reuse of materials in the current global vehicle parc.

ITM's electrolyser and fuel cell technologies have the potential to become the cornerstones of a future hydrogen economy based on 'green' hydrogen. Their hydrogen systems are able to convert renewable energy to a clean fuel, that can be indefinitely stored for use in transport, residential and industrial applications.

Lisa Rogers has been a supporter of the Revolve Brighton to London Eco-Rally since the beginning. So far she's test-driven a zero emission Nissan FCV and a biothenol Saab convertible. She also joined our People's Eco-Rally in her her own car which is converted to run on pure vegetable oil. For 2010 she's driving the insane Oaktec rally-racing hybrid and the electric MINI E.

Despite the fact that the Explorer is an SUV, the only emission coming from the exhaust is water and the only audible noise is from the big fat nobbly tyres. The all-wheel drive, 6-passenger vehicle has already undergone 17,000 miles of road testing and set a fuel cell record for longest distance traveled in 24hrs.
