YOU WILL NEVER OWN A RIVERSIMPLE RASA. BUT YOU CAN OWN SHARES IN THE FUTURE OF SUSTAINABLE MOBILITY.
Riversimple Movement Ltd is bent on bringing a new kind of zero emissions car to market. We are a rapidly evolving enterprise in which all kinds of people are getting involved. Our aspiration is sustainable mobility. The success of the recently launched Rasa, a radically new and innovative hydrogen fuel cell car, is testament to our enduring commitment, combined skills and total determination as a team – we are driven differently.
The next step is to build a series of Rasa cars for the public to test and refine in a 12 month trial (we are calling it a Beta test) and for this we need your help.
In every sense we have built a car that is a pleasure to drive

There is no trade-off between fun and sustainability – the Rasa is both: very responsive to the touch and fun to drive because it’s lightweight; lightweight, so more efficient in energy terms.
We will never sell a car
You wouldn’t believe how much money Hugo was offered for a Rasa car – but it is not part of the business plan. The Riversimple Rasa fuel cell car will be available on subscription as a complete and cost-transparent service. It’s a lighter, simpler transport option for customers and it leads to a longer term business relationship with a number of significant advantages. Above all it is disruptive, turning the traditional business incentive to design cars for obsolescence on its head. In fact, when you sell “mobility” as a service the business incentive is to design cars for longevity, low running costs and sustainability.
We won’t build giant factories but will be part of the local economy
Our manufacturing model = profitable, regional operations each making a maximum of 5,000 cars a year; creating new high skilled jobs, employing local people and promoting local sourcing where possible.
We believe in the health-giving properties of clean air
Don’t we all? But we want more than monitoring and more than talk. We are proactively pursuing answers to pollution and the implementation of clean, technologically advanced, infrastructure. Our car is zero emissions, aero dynamic and highly efficient.
We are opening our doors…to you

We are opening our doors to new investors. We will organise open days, when you can come and meet our super talented engineering team, find out what Will does at the weekend, about Andre’s previous life in Formula 1, how Hugo came to ski down a mountain with a piano, meet our brilliant board of directors and get the whole story behind the designing of the Rasa.
But more importantly we would like to hear your feedback and talk ideas with you. Because that is how Riversimple Movement will grow, and stay relevant, and overcome obstacles, and get 1000’s of Rasas on the road – and pursue, systematically, the elimination of the environmental impact of personal transport without losing the very thing we love – the freedom to travel this wonderful world. Lightly.
DRIVEN DIFFERENTLY
In February 2016 we launched the Riversimple Rasa, our sleek, smart prototype hydrogen fuel cell car.
In May, the Rasa starred at the London Motorshow.
In June, the Rasa took on the hill climb at the Goodwood Festival of Speed.
Our local MP Chris Davies invited Riversimple Rasa to visit Parliament. We were overwhelmed by the interest and enthusiasm from MPs of all parties.
In July, Oldsmobile and Riversimple – pioneers in different centuries – were side by side at CarFest.
Riversimple scooped the prestigious Simms Medal awarded by the RAC Club for “a genuine contribution to motoring innovation”.
ying Rasa on tour!
