The Morgan LIFECar concept was the creation of a partnership
between Morgan Motor Company, QinetiQ, Cranfield and Oxford
Universities, BOC and OSCar.
The LIFECar aims to combine the sporting spirit associated
with Morgan sportscars with environmentally friendly technology,
as such the LIFECar will be ultra quiet and its exhaust
system will produce only water vapour.
The LIFECar, funded in part by the Department for Trade
and Industry (DTI), is a two and half-year long project
which hopes to make a change in vehicle power technology,
producing a combination of performance, range and fuel
economy that is becoming increasingly important in the
motoring arena.
The LIFECar will be based on the Morgan
Aero 8, but power will come from a QinetiQ-made fuel
cell,creating electricity to power four separate electric
motors, one at each wheel.
