Hydrogen fuel cell powered VW Golf SportWagen HyMotion unveiled with 310-mile range


Volkswagen has unveiled an innovative new car, the Golf SportWagen
HyMotion that uses hydrogen fuel cells, making it eco-friendly but
super high tech.


Hydrogen powered cars only produce water as a byproduct making them
environmentally friendly. They can also be filled up quickly like
current cars giving them that advantage over pure electric cars that
require charging.


The HyMotion is currently a "progressive research vehicle" meaning
it's not aimed at the road just yet but is helping VW to perfect its
fuel cell tech. The front wheel drive car is able to achieve a 0-62mph
acceleration in 10 seconds and can manage 310-miles on a full tank of
hydrogen. Refilling the tank of the concept car takes only three
minutes.

The hydrogen fuel cell powered car still features lithium-ion
batteries. These are used to store energy from regenerative breaking,
assist in the starting phase of the fuel cell and as a booster for more
acceleration.


Volkswagen says that when it does start to release fuel cell cars it
will do so in current models like the Golf which already feature
perfected systems. The wait for that to happen is due to developmental
hurdles. For example an infrastructure of fuel cell station to recharge
would be needed. Also the plants that manufacture the fuel would need to
be eco-friendly too or that would defeat the object of hydrogen powered
cars.
