00:00 What are the characteristics of this race car?
00:07 This is a race car that is basically electric, but instead of having a battery it uses the hydrogen
00:13 that is stored on the car and takes air from the outside.
00:16 It is sent to a fuel cell that then produces electricity to send to the electric motors.
00:20 This car was finished in 2018, so now we are working on a new prototype,
00:24 and it has been racing since 2018 until this summer in a competition called Supercar Challenge,
00:30 which is a circuit that is mainly found in Holland, Belgium and Luxembourg.
00:33 What are the advantages of a race car with hydrogen?
00:37 First of all, it is a very advanced technology that has already been used in normal cars,
00:44 but in this application it has had very few applications because for now we are unique in our genre.
00:49 Above all, the fantastic thing about a car like this is that the only waste product is water.
00:55 In fact, we also have a exhaust pipe and while we see the car driving, it literally only emits water vapor.
