QBEAK bio-methanol fuel cell electric car




The Modular Energy Carrier concept (MECc), created by three Danish companies, uses bio-methanol to bolster its battery life. 

 The car's fuel cell converts a bio-ethanol/ water mix into electricity to power the battery.
Compared to gasoline, bio-methanol production can cut CO2 emissions by more than 70 per cent.

The QBEAK project hopes to launch a battery-powered model with a range of 186 miles (300 kilometers) later this year useing patented in-wheel electric motors to deliver a top speed of 75mph (120kph)

The battery/fuel cell version is expected to arrive sometime in 2013 with a range of 500 miles.
