In our advocate popularization of new energy vehicles of the moment, the vast majority of points are subject stays in pure electric and gasoline-electric hybrid this field, as for the previous youth Hangzhou Motor sudden, the “add water also run” false gimmick, ultimately ending in a bankruptcy. On the Guangzhou Auto Show, Hyundai has also brought in foreign countries has been on the market hydrogen cars sold NEXO, according to the person in charge of the booth, car to hydrogen as a power and energy, three bottles of hydrogen to fill the entire vehicle carried just five minutes, battery life up to 800km.
Appearance and concept cars of the same strain
NEXO overall design is based on previous FE Fuel Cell concept car build from as early as the 2017 consumer Electronics show in Asia has been unveiled, inspired by nature and water, a symbol of the close nature of meaning zero emissions.
uses a split car headlight design, LED daytime running lights and turn signals above the set together, the bottom is the distance light headlights, two peripheral chrome trim strip symbolizes the wave ripples, and language are closely linked.
NEXO body size of 4670/1860 / 1630mm, wheelbase 2790mm, belonging to the compact SUV slightly larger ranks No.1. In order to reduce energy consumption and the drag coefficient, NEXO used a rolling resistance of the tires and hidden door handles design, in the sense of science and technology to create more in place. Headlights and taillights echo the design phase, the water reflects the design concept.
Interior science fiction and reality
Inside, the more biased towards science fiction wind on the whole NEXO. There are several major highlight detail, it first uses a large piece size screen, but there is a black screen, the partition between the instrument and control panel; Secondly, it uses a two-spoke steering wheel, and playing with leather hole processing.
Finally NEXO shift using a push-button design, the upward slope so that the main drive platform shifting bits form a similar cockpit design. Made under the hollow handle, large capacity storage space it’s performed well. Convey the sense of science and technology on the interior as a whole is relatively strong, while taking into account the car nowadays mainstream design.
Hydrogenation five minutes life eight hundred kilometers
Power for NEXO aspect is a key part. It was equipped with a maximum power of 154 hp, 395 Nm peak torque of the motor, using the same size of the three hydrogen tank as fuel storage means, positioned between the rear axle. According to modern official personnel, NEXO hydrogenation and traditional way of filling almost the same way, in the hydrogen refueling station in about five minutes to fill and a range of up to 800km, true zero emissions.
Summary –
Hyundai and Toyota, like other manufacturers, research and development in the field of hydrogen energy more in-depth, the show brings NEXO is pretty good results. Currently NEXO has been officially listed in foreign countries and sales, but did not formally introduced to the country, more reason is that the number of hydrogen refueling stations can not meet domestic demand for hydrogen cars, the cost to build more hydrogen refueling stations for individual car prices also unbearable. After the conditional be in the future, hydrogen cars and perhaps also a good new energy direction, but hope it will not happen again, “add water also run” like a farce.
