The fuel used was a mixture of natural gas and hydrogen are called NaturalHy (HCNG) with the composition of 8-20% hydrogen and 92-80% of natural gas is then compressed.
This fuel is considered as a first step towards the commercialization of hydrogen fuel in the future automobile market. FYK concept car built using recycled aluminum in almost all parts, including the body, chassis, engine, wheels, and even to the interior elements. The design of the exterior and interior of the FYK concept car shows the techniques of aluminum utilization.
Although environmentally friendly, but as the concept car, it is still has a shortage of doors and interior design which seems still not maximizing functional elements and still looks difficult for driver to enter and move within it.
In addition the FYK car had been launched at the same time as Statoil opens Norway's first hydrogen/NaturalHy/natural gas filling station in August 2006 in Forus, Stavanger. But unfortunately the continued development of this concept car was not heard anymore. *** [EKA | FROM VARIOUS SOURCES | DISENO-ART]
