Specialist hydrogen powertrain company Viritech to partner with BAC to develop carbon-neutral sports car powertrains -
Viritech Chief Technical Officer Matt Faulks says, ‘working with BAC on this exciting challenge is a perfect partnership. We share a passion for automotive innovation and developing high-performance vehicles, as well as a commitment to ensuring all entities in the industry from Niche to high volume have a vibrant, zero emission future.’
It is these low-impact and lightweight fundamentals of a hydrogen powertrain that syncs with BAC’s core brand values of driver involvement and uncompromising performance. The project will be built from BAC’s Mono, and explore a solution to maintaining critical driver engagement by reducing weight and preserving the delicate balance of elements within a sports car’s technical package.
So with the combustion engine on its way out, and little in the way of legislation that will allow low-volume sports car manufacturers a mechanism to continue their manufacturing beyond 2030, it’s these sorts of collaborations that will form an essential lifeline. Just as Cosworth and Ford were the go-to powertrain suppliers in the past half-century, it’s companies like Viritech that might just be the future.
