Abstract
In this we describe about car that runs on Hydrogen.
We give in Hydrogen as source of fuel for running the vehicle.
The technology used in this is “WIRE” systems.
All the mechanical links we find in our daily car are eliminated.
So its named as “HY-WIRE” car.
In this car we doesn’t see gases as exhaust but water, it’s the only exhaust we get.
Introduction
This concept of car was developed in General Motors an US automobile company.
Its shape is just like an skateboard as it doesn’t have any body it consists only of chassis.
All the systems of the car are kept under the chassis which is only 11inch in thick.
A computer is kept under the chassis which controls the system of the car.
Due to the concept of WIRE systems we doesn’t find any mechanical and hydraulic linkages.

Hydrogen storage tank
Wheel hub motor
Lithium-ion battery
Front electric motor
Design
Due to hydrogen fuel cell drive system used by the Hy-wire, the conventional car layout has been revamped.
Without the need for a conventional engine block and transmission system coupled to the steering column and pedals through mechanical linkage the car's power system and single electric motor are built into a flat skateboard configuration.
Because all propulsion and energy storage systems are housed in the skateboard, designers are free to arrange the passenger compartment however they see fit.
The skateboard itself contains crumple zones similar to those in conventional automobiles.
Control unit of Vehicle
In the control unit of the vehicle we have an computer arranged under the chassis of the vehicle.
This computer controls the speed of the vehicle.
There is connection between the parts and computer using wire system.
There are LCD screens in front of the driver as they show the road in front and behind the vehicle.
