This paper gives an overview of a vehicle concept. The challenge was to carry out a twomonth preliminary study out of a broad theme inviting us to "create a car for two, weighing less than 400kg, supplied by less than 15kw and respectful of the Euro5 standard." The vehicle is a three-wheel tandem using an alternative propulsion system with PEM fuel cells. Therefore, this project is perfectly in line with the greatest issue that automotive engineers have to face currently, that is to reduce greenhouse emissions. The main problems with the use of hydrogen are storage and consequences of industrial production. This promising system (invented by Nuvera) enables onboard production of hydrogen by means of a fuel processor that can convert any fuel into hydrogen.
