In a significant move towards sustainable mobility, Bosch Engineering, a leading global supplier of technology and services, and Ligier Automotive, a renowned manufacturer of high-performance vehicles, have joined forces to establish a strategic development partnership. The aim of this collaboration is to create high-performance vehicles powered by hydrogen engines, bringing together cutting-edge engineering expertise and a commitment to environmentally friendly transportation solutions.
The two companies explained that the new hydrogen model based on the Ligier JS2 R will be equipped with a lightweight carbon structure and three hydrogen tanks with a 6-cylinder petrol engine to move the car. During the next two months, the two companies will work closely to develop the new car and prepare it for practical tests on the ground in the summer.
Bosch Engineering will undertake the development of the engine, hydrogen tanks and safety technologies related to the use of hydrogen for power generation, and the company has more than 20 years of experience in the development of super sports cars and special projects in cooperation with other global companies.
On the other hand, Ligier Automotive has deep experience in the world of racing, automotive technology, engine design, and practical tests. In this project, the company will undertake the aspects of developing the car structure and integrating the hydrogen system and cooling systems into the movement system. The central goal of the project is to build a hydrogen car with distinct dynamic performance rates that are similar to sports cars. The traditional car with in-house engines, while showcasing the technical and manufacturing expertise of the two companies, will be unveiled as part of the centenary celebrations of the Le Mans 24 Hours in June next year.

Further to Nissans’ recent announcement on it’s trial of innovative automotive paint technology, Harmeet Singh, Aftersales Director at Al Masaood Automobiles commented: “The summer months in the UAE witness high temperatures and humidity, which may ultimately have an impact on vehicles and cause discomfort to drivers – especially if parked outside. Nissan, in line with its commitment to leverage the latest technologies and intelligent mobility systems, is trialling with an innovative automotive paint that can address this issue. This latest technology will not only reduce the temperatures of exterior and interiors of vehicles, but it will also contribute to the reduction in use of fuels. While this new technology is still in the testing phase, it does have a promising potential.”
Nissan has been trialing an innovative automotive paint aimed at helping lower a vehicle’s ambient cabin temperature in summer and reduce the energy usage of the air-conditioning system.
Developed in partnership with Radi-Cool, a specialist in radiative cooling products, the paint incorporates metamaterial, synthetic composite materials with structures that exhibit properties not usually found in nature. The project is part of Nissan’s pursuit of differentiated innovations that empower journeys and to help create a cleaner more sustainable society.
In a significant stride towards innovative automotive design, Nissan is pioneering a new type of exterior paint designed to tackle a persistent problem: heat. This groundbreaking paint, developed in collaboration with Radi-Cool, leverages electromagnetic waves to reduce surface and interior temperatures, promising a cooler and more comfortable ride for drivers.
