With visions of a battery-free toy future, Corgi International, one of the world's leading toy-makers, today unveiled a revolutionary fuel cell powered remote control car at the American International Toy Fair(R) in New York City.

The H2Go combines classic playability with zero emissions energy technology, engaging the user in the quest to diminish reliance on fossil fuels. Power for the H2Go is delivered by an on-board hydrogen fuel cell, where sun and water supply renewable, clean energy for unlimited play.

This revolutionary innovation does not require disposable batteries, which often contain toxic materials such as cadmium, lead and sulphuric acid. The H2Go's packaging is made from recycled materials to further reduce the carbon footprint. In addition, the car boasts an eye-catching aerodynamic design thanks to acclaimed designer Professor Luigi Colani.

"Today marks a new chapter in the global toy market," said Michael Cookson, CEO of Corgi International. "The H2Go is not only a fascinating real-working fuel cell powered radio controlled toy that can be refuelled using plain water, but marks a change in how the toy industry will need to transform and adapt to a clean energy future."

Cookson continued: "Our children are the future, and I am delighted that together Corgi International and Horizon can launch a product like the H2Go that offers not only great entertainment and playability but also has fantastic educational value. Discovering fuel cell technology and being able to fill the car's refuelling station with plain water is an important part of the play experience."

This U.S. unveiling comes on the heels of the Nuremberg International Toy Fair where the H2Go was awarded the 2008 Toy Award in the "Electronics & Technology" category. Corgi International and Horizon Fuel Cell Technologies, a global leader in fuel cell development, teamed up to produce the H2Go, and plan to continue on the quest to develop and produce a range of new toys using hydrogen fuel cells.

"The H2Go is not only setting the pace for a new generation of toys, but is also acting as a compelling example for other industries of the opportunities to be gained from innovative clean energy fuel cell technology," said Taras Wankewyz, CEO of Horizon Fuel Cell Technologies. "Corgi's H2Go will bring fuel cell technology out of the laboratories and into millions of homes around the world."

A cleaner environmental future

The compact H2Go set features a refuelling station, a solar power panel, a hydrogen-powered, radio control car and remote control. Adapting Horizon's fuel cell technology to the toy car, consumers need only add plain water to the refuelling station, which is the source of the car's power. The refuelling system was designed to provide continuous playability, by generating power for the car in less than four minutes. Powered by solar energy, the refuelling station splits water by electrolysis into its two basic elements, oxygen and hydrogen, which is captured for use as power for the car. When the car is turned on, the on-board fuel cell produces an electric current from hydrogen, which in turn powers the motor and the back wheels.

History-making and designed for the future

Designer Professor Luigi Colani was responsible for giving the H2Go a look as futuristic as the green energy technology inside the car. With his work on global brands such as Ferrari and Alfa Romeo, Professor Colani is familiar with making history, having designed the world's first monocoque car as well as being behind the first sports car to drive around the Nurburgring circuit in Germany in less than 10 minutes.

Michael Cookson, CEO of Corgi International added: "The H2Go is undoubtedly an important milestone in the toy industry and a genesis in the step towards a fully sustainable global toy market, but it makes no compromise in terms of playability. H2Go is the first of a new range of toys to be launched under the brand name H2Go. We are proud to once again be at the forefront in helping shape the future of play today."
