On April 13, according to the news of easy car network, Hyundai Motor Nexo China version of the SUV officially obtained the Beijing new energy vehicle license. This is Hyundai Motor's first hydrogen fuel cell passenger car that complies with Chinese regulations, and has been allowed to be legally on the road, which will play a role in promoting the development of China's hydrogen energy industry.
It is understood that the modern Nexo China version in the case of full hydrogen fuel, CLTC-P comprehensive cruising range of 596 kilometers, similar to the electric vehicles on the market. However, the car only takes about 5 minutes to fill up with hydrogen, which is similar to refueling. You can get an endurance of nearly 600 kilometers in 5 minutes, which is definitely faster and more convenient than charging an electric car.
The car was unveiled at last year's Guangzhou Auto Show, drawing inspiration from nature and water to achieve a zero-emission product concept. The body shape is quite simple, and the triangular taillights are designed with white light on a black background. The interior is also made of eco-friendly decorative materials, including bio-coatings extracted from vegetable oils and plant-based artificial leather. The center console is equipped with an integrated screen, which has a good sense of technology.
In terms of power system, hyundai Nexo China is equipped with fourth-generation hydrogen fuel cell technology, which increases power efficiency by 20% and fuel cell stack power consumption density by 30%. The maximum output of the motor is 163 horsepower, the peak torque is 395N·m, the acceleration time of 100 km/h is 9.5s, and the maximum speed can reach 160 km/h. Although its acceleration performance is not very impressive, the overall performance is still quite strong.
Hyundai Nexo China discharges only water during driving, without any exhaust or contaminants. An air humidifier has also been installed to recycle the water generated during the driving process. In addition, the car also supports automatic driving related technologies, including visual blind spot monitoring, high-speed assistance, and remote automatic parking.
It is not clear what the specific price of the car will be, and it is not known whether it will be for the personal consumption market. Once the car can be given a suitable price, it is still extremely competitive in the market. Although many people are optimistic about electric vehicles, but the difficulty of charging is still a problem that is not easy to solve in the short term, hydrogen fuel cell vehicles can be filled with hydrogen in only 5 minutes, which is still very attractive.
Nowadays, all car companies are grouped together to transform electric vehicles, which does promote the rapid development of the electric vehicle industry, but it also causes many problems. For example, the upstream and downstream supply chains can not adapt, lithium battery prices soared, etc., resulting in the current electric vehicle price increase and shortage of goods, paid money also have to wait for a long time to pick up the car.
Once the hydrogen vehicle technology matures, it may be able to share the pressure of the electric vehicle market. Xiao Lei is actually more optimistic about hydrogen energy vehicles, and hopes that more manufacturers will follow up in the future to promote the development and progress of the industry.
