Hyundai will start testing its Tucson ix Fuel Cell Electric Vehicle (FCEV) in 2011 with the intention of going to mass-production in 2015.
The Tucson ix FCEV is Hyundai’s third-generation FCEV. building on the original 2005 Tucson FCEV that was a test vehicle for the company’s second-generation hydrogen fuel-cell. The latest version has a 100kW fuel-cell system and two hydrogen storage tanks said to give the SUV a range of 650km - 70% better than the previous version.
It can also start in temperatures as low as -25°C.
SMALLER FUEL CELL
Top speed is still 160km/h, but using less hydrogen. Reports say this was made possible by shrinking the overall volume of the fuel cell system by 20%.
South Africa doesn't even have an excuse for a hydrogen refuelling network, so we'll again be left out in the cold, as we are with superclean diesel, high-speed internet and even a decent bus service.
Santa... are you listening?
