New hydrogen crossover Hyundai promises a power reserve of more than 580 km.
Hyundai Motor company has demonstrated a prototype car fuel cell the next generation: the novelty is almost ready for serial production.
It is reported that when creating a machine, engineers were guided by four basic principles: efficiency, performance (maximum power), durability and specific energy. Key indicators of the car will exceed the crossover ix35 Fuel Cell.
By improving the efficiency of fuel cells, reducing hydrogen consumption and optimization of the main components of the energy efficiency of the car managed to reach 60 %, which is 9 % higher than the ix35 Fuel Cell. Claimed cruising range on one filling exceeds 580 km (according to Korean test standards).
Power unit provides power of 163 horsepower, which is 20% more compared to the predecessor. New system of fuel cell crossover has an improved cold start, get rid of traditional for this type of car start up problems at temperatures below zero: vehicle architecture allows you to run the power plant at minus 30 degrees Celsius.
The tank unit consists of three tanks of the same size in contrast to the two tanks of different sizes before. Through the use of highly persistent catalyst for a new crossover fuel cell has a longer life than its predecessor.
The car inherits the design elements of the FE concept presented at the Geneva motor show 2017. A wide dashboard with high console emphasizes the raised landing of the driver and has intuitive controls.
New car hydrogen-powered debut early next year in Korea, followed by a premiere in North America and Europe. The release date and price were not disclosed.
