Text: Understand the original Zhou Tong of Chedi
Recently, we obtained a preview of Renault's new concept car from overseas media. It is understood that the new car type of internal combustion engine-driven vehicle using hydrogen as fuel will be unveiled at the ChangeNOW 2022, which opened in France at 15:00 Beijing time on May 19.
The official release of the trailer does not show much information, the first trailer shows the front face layout of the concept car, you can see its use of horizontal arrangement of the headlight group, the middle position also uses a brand logo that can emit light, and the fog light area on both sides is triangular design. The second stop teaser gold shows the illuminated logo on the vehicle's B-pillar.
According to overseas media reports, this concept car is not a hydrogen fuel cell electric vehicle, but an internal combustion engine using hydrogen fuel. It's largely similar to Toyota's previously released GR Yaris H2 prototype.
GR Yaris H2 prototype
The GR Yaris H2 prototype is an experimental product of Toyota and the second to burn hydrogen fuel after the Corolla H2 Concept. Engineers replaced the oil supply and injection system for the GR Yaris's 1.6-liter, 3-cylinder turbocharged engine. However, because hydrogen-fired engines still need to use oil, there are still low carbon emissions during operation.
Write at the end:
Although hydrogen fuel vehicles are more in line with the requirements of emission regulations, the technical problems in hydrogen production, hydrogen storage, and hydrogen transportation have not been completely solved, and the basic settings obviously cannot meet their needs in the passenger car field. If we can't solve these problems, I'm afraid that hydrogen fuel will be a long way off.
