At the start of 2022 Riversimple received a very special invitation to be guest of honour at the Isle of Man EV Meet Up. On the last weekend of February our grey Rasa crossed the Irish sea and landed on shores of the Isle of Man, ready for its star appearance at the. The organisers were so keen to have the Rasa in attendance the crossing was offered free of charge by the Steam Packet Company. The event was held at the Manx Utilities headquarters in Douglas and was attended by over 50 electric vehicles, With waves of EV and sustainability enthusiasts turning out to see the cars on offer. The Rasa proved to be a hit as it was surrounded by crowds taking pictures and asking questions for the duration of the meeting. We even gave a few passenger rides. There was one theme that remained clear throughout the day, the next generation of zero emission vehicles are coming and hydrogen is going to have a huge part to play.

We made the most of our time on the island taking a tour of the serene coastal and mountain roads which have played host to the infamous Isle of Man TT for over 110 years and visited a few famous landmarks along the way. Overall it was a fantastic weekend and a great opportunity to share the progress we are making on the next generation of zero emission vehicles. The acceptance and understanding of hydrogen as a fuel is better than it has ever been and the demand for a viable alternative to battery vehicles is growing by the day as oil prices soar. A theme that is only going to become evermore pertinent as time goes by.
