    FYK concept car
    The FYKproject is intended to build market awareness of natural gas and NaturalHy (HCNG) as serious alternative fuels for automobiles that satisfy existing consumer expectations for personal transport.
    Powered by NaturalHy (HCNG) which consists of 8-20% hydrogen, 92-80% compressed natural gas, built almost entirely in aluminium, and using cutting edge wireless communications solutions from norwegian IT-companies, the FYK concept car will exceed consumer expectations for a ’normal’ sportscar.
    Body, chassis, suspension, wheels, motor and even the interior, are produced in recyclable aluminium. Exterior and interior design show different aluminium-shaping techniques and surface treatments.
    The norwegian oil and gas company, Statoil, views NaturalHy (HCNG) as a possible commercially viable step towards a future potential hydrogen market, they therefore provide fuel for the FYK-project. In addition the FYK car will be launched at the same time as Statoil opens Norway's first hydrogen/NaturalHy/natural gas filling station in august 2006 in Forus, Stavanger.

    From Aetek:

    Aetek AS is a design- and prototype development company specializing in environmentally friendly, yet exciting, concepts in the transport sector. Working both by initializing projects or as a think-tank consultancy, Aetek seeks to find commercially viable ways to route public behavior in a more environmentally friendly direction. Design and production of a norwegian HCNG concept car, the FYK, done in cooperation with Statoil, is a demonstration project initialized by Aetek, intended to heighten public awareness of hydrogen and hydrogen/natural gas mixtures. In the long run, a potential future hydrogen society depends to a large degree on market acceptance. Hydrogen-fuelled vehicles must therefore be preferred not only for environmental reasons., they must be desirable.


    Able to go from to conceptualization to design and production of fully functioning prototypes, Aetek firmly believes in sustainable innovation - and projects utilizing other alternative fuels are also on the drawing board. Rather than confining R&D to controlled laboratory environments, Aetek prefers taking its projects on the road, and into the media, in order to maximize attention given to opinions, technical solutions and cooperating partners.

    Specs: 3.0l V8, fueled with/powered by HCNG, aim/goal: 300Hp, 800kg, reachable distance: 350 km, lowest possible emissions.

    Specifications: 3,0l V8, driven by HCNG (that fuel the text is also about), 300hp, 800kg, one tank of fuel takes you 350km (around 218mls), lavest mulig utslipp (??? I don't know)
