A golf cart equipped with a hydrogen fuel cell energy system, developed as a demonstration of fuel cell viability for clean campus transportation. The system has proven to be an adequate replacement for lead-acid and lithium-ion batteries.

The first hydrogen fuel cell comprised entirely of domestic South African components, announced by HySA in October 2012, representing a major milestone in the country's fuel cell industry development.
