John JostinsJohn Jostins is professor of Sustainable Transport and Design at Coventry University, UK. He holds a BA Fine Art and a MA Design and Digital Media. His industrial experience includes working in motorsport and special effects in the film industry. Fro 1995, he became interested in sustainable design and was prompted (by the poor air quality in London where he was working) to start investigations into urban transport. Experience in motorsport gave him a good background in engineering lightweight structures and this, coupled with an interest in electric drive and hydrogen fuel cells, allowed him to pursue the goal of designing useful urban mobility devices with zero emissions. He has been researching into alternative, zero emissions transport and new mobility since 1996, focusing on designs for vehicles for urban scenarios where congestion and air quality tend to be worst. In that time, Prof. Jostins has founded a new enterprise called Microcab Industries Ltd. (an SME). Concentrating on hydrogen fuel cell electric drivetrains married to lean weight vehicle structures, 3 complete vehicle designs and a total of 14 operational vehicles have been built and demonstrated in trials.
