A pleasant moment to read the news about what Volvo has been pushing in the past couple of months! The new Hydrogen Fuel Cell is somehow a silent agreement with the rest of the market that, the era of fossil fuel has come to an end, and green vehicle system is the ultimate answer for future means of transportation for our planet.
However, unlike those battery powered EVs, Volvo and a Sweden base company – Powercell, is now developing a new range of hybrid cars that combine the new hydrogen fuel cell technology would enjoy significant boost up of additional mileage by up to 155 miles or approximately another extra 250km!
And surprisingly the system seems to have similarities with Honda FCX Clarity‘s hybrid hydrogen EV system.
The new hydrogen fuel cells technology appears to be a liquid fuel petrol that will be used to create hydrogren gas to further being convert into energy to power the car. The hydrogen fuel cell will at the end generate green electricity without emitting any carbon oxide (CO), nitrogen oxides (NOx), sulfur oxides (SOx) and other harmful particles to human being. The core materials are small amount of carbon dioxide, electricity and water.
Volvo and Powercell, in their second phase of the project, is aiming to produce two test cars based on the current C30 DRIVe Electric that will be ready for testing in everyday traffic by 2012.
