Snow-Cat Snowmobile

The wicked-looking Snow-Cat snowmobile ditches the gas powered engine for a hi-tech fuel-cell electric power-train with kinetic energy recovery system. The sleds are fitted with linear generators which send power back to the fuel-cell unit and its lightweight carbon fiber body and aerodynamic shape allow it to cut through snow like butter. A digital dashboard provides the rider with completely control of the engine and suspension with information projected directly on a head-up display.
