Background

The Morgan LIFEcar was originally a fuel cell-powered electric vehicle project undertaken by Morgan Motor Company and startup company Riversimple. The goal of LIFEcar was a sports car that would be environmentally responsible, and deliver impressive performance. Research and development was backed by QinetiQ, a British defence technology firm, as well as several universities, including Cranfield University and the University of Oxford, and government grants.

The project abandoned the fuel-cell architecture in favour of a hybrid approach with a 15-mile electric range.
