ENV, pronounced "envy," was engineered and purpose-built from the ground up, utilizing Intelligent Energy's world-renowned CORE, a radically compact and efficient fuel cell, in order to demonstrate the everyday applicability of fuel cell technology.

The CORE is detachable from the bike and is capable of powering anything from an ATV or a personal watercraft, to a small home.
