Let’s Get Dirty!
Unlike the conventional quad, the TrakRok all-terrain trike concept features an independent track system similar to that of a snowmobile. High powered electric motors propel the segmented rubber track plates, enabling maximum traction in both the mud & snow. The system is powered by renewable energy using hydrogen fuel cell technology & the hard yet lightweight ribbed exoskeleton is composed of anodized aluminum to protect the internal components from the harshest of seasonal conditions.
Designer: Alexei Mikhailov

Let's not go into the lack of power transfer from the hydrogen fuel cell (read: magic power source) or the lack of actual steering mechanism. Let's just deal with the lack of mudguards that will render you blind on those front wheels and a seat that will produce in a best case scenario- a TREMENDOUSLY uncomfortable ride. I like the lines, I encourage lateral thinking but if the fuel to noise converter doesn't connect to the spinny parts then it is not a design it's a comic book drawing.

Hydrogen fuel cells are quite feasible, and already in use in several vehicles, cars, busses, submarines etc. check wikipedia. Because it is electric, the motor could be inside the track, you would only need a few high current cables running through the rear suspension. The steering could be done with electric servo's.
You are right about the mudguards, but they could be added in an instance.
In the designers defence, I actually find it one of the most technical feasible vehicles on the site.

the renderings are definitely impressive, even more the hand-sketches!

What is it with you cartoon artists and green renewable energy. Its like if you don’t mention how your design is green then it wont get noticed. Currently hydrogen production is not renewable because hydrogen is created using fossil fuels.
