Celebrate the bold ambition of a tech startup that aimed to change the world with this First Mode T-shirt. First Mode emerged as a cutting-edge engineering company focused on developing zero-emission solutions for heavy industries like mining and transportation. Its innovative prototypes—particularly massive hydrogen-powered haul trucks—captured global attention and positioned the company as a trailblazer in the clean energy transition.
Despite its early success and visionary goals, First Mode ultimately faced overwhelming financial and operational challenges. The high cost of scaling its technologies, coupled with slow adoption in its target industries, strained its resources. Mounting economic pressures and limited commercial traction eventually led to the company’s shutdown, ending its ambitious mission prematurely.
This T-shirt honors the daring spirit of First Mode, featuring its logo in a distressed, cracked vintage finish—perfect for those who appreciate bold ideas and the pioneers who chase them.
