Corgi Introduces Zero Emission Toy Car

There’s a good possibility that your 6-year-old kid will have a zero emission car before you do. To be fair, this vehicle seats none and is controlled by a remote control, but hey, it’s a start.

Corgi International has developed the H2GO, a toy radio-controlled car that runs on clean fuel-cell technology. Solar power and water supply a fueling unit, which in turn drives a hydrogen fuel cell. Since both fuel sources — sun and water — are completely renewable, the H2GO will run for as long as your kid can manage to not run it off a plywood ramp or under the wheel of a car.

The toy car comes with a solar refueling station that uses electrolysis to separate water into oxygen and hydrogen. The fuel cell captures the hydrogen and uses it to produce an electric current, which powers the car.

The H2GO not only makes for a cool toy car, but also demonstrates the possibilities — albeit on a smaller scale — of the future of real zero emissions automobiles.

So what’s the catch? As with all hydrogen vehicles, it lies in the price tag. The H2GO and its necessary accessories will run you about $255.
