Hyundai’s fuel-cell program has kicked into high gear with the recent unveiling of the Tucson ix Fuel-Cell Electric Vehicle, (FCEV).
The crossover is scheduled for mass production in 2015. It features a 100-kilowatt fuel cells system and two hydrogen storage tanks. They hold 700 bar. The 21 kWh battery powers the electric motor, which allows Tucson to travel upto 650 km (404 miles), and reach a top speed 160 km/h (99mph).
Hyundai was able to reduce the fuel cell system’s size by 20%, while still allowing it to operate at temperatures as low -25C (-13F). The range is 76% higher than the Tucson FCEV, which is crucial as hydrogen refueling stations can be scarce.
