Electric vehicles are not just driven by batteries. David Brown tells us about the game changing Nexo
The Hyundai NEXO hydrogen Fuel Cell vehicle has been named as a ‘game changer’ at the British Autocar awards.
NEXO was chosen for ‘defying conventions to bring unexpected benefit for buyers’
Nexo is an electric car that instead of big batteries, uses the combining of hydrogen and oxygen to produce electricity with just water from the tail pipe It also has an air purification system which filters 99.9% of very fine dust in the cabin. It has also been awarded the Bio Environmental Seal for its sustainable interior using bio fibres throughout the vehicle.
David’s boyhood passion for motor cars did not immediately lead to a professional role in the motor industry. A qualified Civil Engineer he specialised in traffic engineering and transport planning.
What followed were various positions including being seconded to a government think-tank for the planning of transport firstly in Sydney and then for the whole of NSW. After working with the NRMA and as a consultant he moved to being an independent writer and commentator on the broader areas of transport and the more specific areas of the cars we drive.
His half hour motoring program “Overdrive” has been described as an “informed, humorous and irreverent look at motoring and transport from Australia and overseas”. It is heard on 22 stations across Australia. He does weekly interviews with several ABC radio stations and is also heard on commercial radio in Sydney.
David has written for metropolitan and regional newspapers and has presented regular segments on metropolitan and regional television stations. David is also a contributor for AnyAuto
