1990s?

Yes - late 1990s

Does this Canadian company build cars today?

Is this a Ballard fuel cell powered vehicle?

Quiller · « **Reply #29 on:** January 14, 2014, 01:43:12 PM »

Cars are no longer built by the company
Not a fuel cell (although the power train was highly unusual...)

pnegyesi · « **Reply #30 on:** March 15, 2014, 11:29:12 AM »

let's give this another try. Is this a component supplier?

Arunas · « **Reply #31 on:** March 15, 2014, 11:45:36 AM »

Anything from Bombardier?

Quiller · « **Reply #32 on:** March 18, 2014, 05:50:50 AM »

Not Bombadier
But made by a standalone brand...

pnegyesi · « **Reply #33 on:** March 18, 2014, 05:55:38 AM »

is this a component supplier, like Magna?

Quiller · « **Reply #34 on:** March 19, 2014, 07:28:39 PM »

No it was a company formed to build this car

pnegyesi · « **Reply #35 on:** March 20, 2014, 01:18:51 AM »

And is this company still around with a different activity?

I believe not...

Is it running on wood gas ?

I don't think wood gas was involved...

oko94 · « **Reply #39 on:** November 20, 2015, 12:41:45 PM »

Is it the type of fuel / energy that is highly unusual, or the powertrain architecture (like Stirling engine for instance) ?

Quiller · « **Reply #40 on:** November 28, 2015, 12:16:53 PM »

It's the power source that's unusual - in fact it may well be unique

oko94 · « **Reply #41 on:** November 28, 2015, 01:12:52 PM »

Is it running on maple syrup ?

Quiller · « **Reply #42 on:** November 30, 2015, 06:55:41 AM »

It's more about the powertrain...

oko94 · « **Reply #43 on:** November 30, 2015, 10:30:33 AM »

That would have made it truly unique

You said earlier it was not exactly electric, so is it some kind of hybrid powertrain but without batteries, maybe an inertia flywheel instead ?

Quiller · « **Reply #44 on:** December 01, 2015, 01:58:33 PM »

It is a hybrid, yes

oko94 · « **Reply #45 on:** December 02, 2015, 07:48:35 AM »

OK. So it's half electric and half something else which is almost unique. Steam powered ?

Quiller · « **Reply #46 on:** December 02, 2015, 08:15:27 AM »

Bingo! Yes, a steam-electric hybrid

oko94 · « **Reply #47 on:** December 02, 2015, 09:06:46 AM »

Microvel from Quebec circa 1998 ?

sixtee5cuda · « **Reply #48 on:** December 02, 2015, 09:52:08 PM »

Is this vehicle a product of Ecovia International?

sixtee5cuda · « **Reply #49 on:** December 02, 2015, 09:57:06 PM »

Is the name of the car "MX-4"?
