The 40 Fires Foundation is a forum to develop energy-efficient cars using an open source approach. If you are an engineer, a designer or simply an enthusiast interested in helping to make cleaner cars available to all, we want to hear from you! This Meetup group is part of this effort and we aim to meet regularly initially in London.

Our starting point is the design schematics licensed to us by Riversimple. Riversimple has built a hydrogen fuel cell powered network electric car which was unveiled to the public for the first time in London on 16th June 2009.
