New Delhi: India’s leading automobile makers Sonalika Group has developed world’s cleanest three wheeler with improved I .C engine  in  technical collaborations with Banaras Hindu University that will run on hydrogen and leave behind nothing than a trail of water vapours disclosed  Sonalika group managing director Deepak Mittal in opening day  of  world hydrogen technology convention organised at India habitat centre in New Delhi today. He said that the Sonalika Group and ministry of renewable energy govt of India have jointly funded this pilot project which has been quite successful so far. He told that the new version of the three wheeler will run on hydrogen and emit water only. He told that this three wheeler automobile is powered by hydrogen gas which will increase fuel efficiency by 25 percent without changes to its brake system and elsewhere. He told that this three wheeler will run on the speed of around 50 k. m. to 70 k m, per hour and can play in sub zero temperature up to minus 30 degree celsus and added that around 20 scientists and engineers of Sonalika Group and Banaras Hindu University have worked for 7 years to make this project as viable .He told that the test ride of the vehicle has been conducted in presence of scientists and automobile experts which has been quite successful. He said that government should come forward to create infrastructure like hydro filling stations on pilot basis to provide fuel facility for such vehicles. He told that Sonalika Group is interested to run small batches of zero emission 20 three wheelers including some buses wheeling on hydrogen to promote the hydrogen vehicles in the country and generate awareness on hydro fuel as clean alternative fuels.

While giving the technical details of the vehicle, Mr Deepak Mittal told that It’s powered by hydrogen stored in the trunk, a since it is hydrogen the only thing coming out of the tailpipe is clean water and heat. On the road it gets the equivalent of 45 miles to the gallon. He called   his company’s new vehicle the future in transportation and added that while bio fuels are today, hydrogen is tomorrow.

He told that his company will develop affordable and efficient hydrogen-powered vehicles in all other categories in near future and said that it would be completely hydrogen –driven fields.
