The new BAC Mono will be more environmentally friendly thanks to a hydrogen engine. Thus, you can continue to offer great sensations at the wheel.
The BAC Mono It is a car focused exclusively on driving enjoyment and its goal is to continue to be so, but with a different type of mechanics. Times change and the new statement from Briggs Automotive Company (BAC) has hinted that this sports car will become more ecological. With an electric motor? Not with a hydrogen propulsion system.
As reported by the British manufacturer, they have decided to join forces with the Viritech company to develop a new hydrogen drive train for their sports car, thus giving rise to the BAC Mono VEGF. In this way, this peculiar single-seater will continue to offer a similar behavior, without needing a traditional gasoline engine for it.
In fact, that is the main reason for this decision. As the company pointed out at the time, its new model would maintain the “performance principles and driver experience no concessions” that characterize them. Therefore, they consider that this configuration, combined with the use of lighter experimental materials, will achieve a great result.
In this sense, the very founder of the firm, Neil Briggsalready spoke before: “Alternative fuels, along with lightweight manufacturing methods, significantly reduce emissions of cars without compromising driver engagement. This is something we are committed to preserving at BAC.”.
Therefore, it seems that the brand will bet on hydrogen for its new version of the Mono, instead of opting for the electric propulsion that is being used by many manufacturers. After all, it is one of the alternatives available in sustainable motorsport, although it still needs further development.
If the behavior of this engine is really similar to that of a conventional gasoline engine and the new car will have materials such as Graphene that will make it lighter, the result of the BAC Mono VEGF can be most surprising. Are you excited to see how it comes true?
