Low-Emission Snowmobile Concept [Video]

Concept vehicles are always kind of fun. Sure, the mast majority will never reach production, but it’s interesting to see what designers can come up with.

We recently came across a unique hydrogen-powered model that uses electric motors that was designed by Jessica Covi, an industrial design student at the University of Applied Arts in Vienna.

Dubbed Nanuq, this unit features a hydrogen fuel cell system that provides power to a battery pack and electric engines. This concept is wider in the rear than a traditional snowmobile and features two narrow tracks rather than a single wide one. Other features on the Nanuq include side-view cameras, GPS navigation, airbag, rollbar and seatbelt harness.

So what do you think of the Nanuq? How far away are we from a snowmobile not powered by traditional fuel sources?
