Clean Energy Technology Provides Glimpse of the 'Future Of Play Today'
UREMBERG,
Germany--A revolutionary next-generation radio controlled (RC) toy
car powered by clean fuel cell energy technology was unveiled today at
the Nuremberg International Toy Fair in Germany.
The H2GO, from Corgi International,
one of the world's leading toy-makers, combines classic playability with
breakthrough zero emissions energy technology. Power for the H2GO is delivered
by an on-board hydrogen fuel cell, where sun and water supply the fuelling
unit with renewable, clean energy for unlimited play.
The first of a new range of toys
to be launched under the brand name H2GO, the futuristic car was designed
by acclaimed designer Professor Luigi Colani. The car boasts an eye-catching
aerodynamic design and is made using lightweight environmentally-friendly
wheat based plastics.
The H2GO is the result of a unique
strategic partnership between Corgi International and Horizon Fuel Cell
Technologies, a global leader in fuel cell development. Going forward,
both companies aim to develop and produce a range of new toys using hydrogen
fuel cells, making the H2GO brand a recognized global leader in clean energy
toys.
Michael Cookson, CEO of Corgi International
said: "Today marks a new chapter in the global toy market. The H2GO is
not only a fascinating miniature-scale, real-working fuel cell powered
RC toy that can be refueled using plain water, but marks a change in how
the toy industry will need to transform and adapt to a clean energy future.
I am delighted that together Corgi International and Horizon, can launch
a product like the H2GO that offers not only great entertainment and playability
but also has fantastic educational value. Discovering fuel cell technology
and being able to fill the car's refuelling station just with water is
an important part of the play experience." |
