Winner of the Autodesk Design Award of the 2010 Shell Eco Marathon in the”Urban Concept Cars” category, the Nios developed by a team of students and professors at three German universities is fully working prototype of a hydrogen-fueled city car.

This two seater sports an advanced hydrogen fuel cell system developed at the Technical University of Chemnitz and the car manages a whopping 500 Km (310 miles) with just a single litre (0.26 gallons) of fuel.

The Hydro Kultur Nios is based on a wooden frame which gives an oval shape around the passenger compartment and the weight of the frame is just 18.5 kgs (40.9 lbs) while the total weight of the vehicle is 400 kgs (882 lbs).
