Freeport, Bahamas - (August 16, 2010) Yes you read it right, possibly Grand Bahamas' very first H20 Hybrid
demonstration vehicle.  You can't miss it on the road, as it is clearly

marked "Water Powered Car" and it means what it says. This vehicle

uses the properties in drinking water to greatly increase fuel economy

while dramatically reducing harmful exhaust emissions and it was built

on the Island in less than 2 months using local suppliers and

materials. Preliminary tests have shown an outstanding 30 % increase

in fuel economy.  That means 30% fewer dollars spent at the pump as

you go about your regular routine.  Think of the potential - you save

while going "green" for the environment.

Congratulations goes to 19-year-old James Tuchel, son of Laurie and

Charles Tuchel who have been residents of Grand Bahama since 2002.

James is the lead Engineer in Training on this project.  James

grew up on the island. and after graduating with an International

Baccalaureate from Lucaya International School, was accepted into the

School of Mechanical

Engineering 5-year Masters Degree Program at the University of

Edinburgh, Scotland.
