Hyundai Fuel Cell Cars Rake up over a Million Miles
Wednesday, March 23rd, 2016
The zero-emission, hydrogen-powered Tucson Fuel Cell vehicles from Hyundai have managed to surpass an iconic threshold. They accumulated more than 1 million clean miles on the highways and roads of Southern California. They emitted only clean water and managed to replace around 385 tons of carbon dioxide emissions that would have been emitted from similar sized vehicles. Hyundai takes periodic mileage updates from Tucson fuel cell vehicle owners, with their permission. Tucson Fuel Cell crossovers were first introduced in the American automotive market in the year 2014. Since then, Hyundai has delivered around a thousand Tucson crossovers. It is the first fuel cell crossover that has been mass produced in the United States.
Some of the advantages of Tucson Fuel Cell CUVs over others include:
- The energy-packed hydrogen fuel has the ability to provide a driving range of 265 miles on one go, just like many of the other vehicles run on gasoline.
- Extreme cold or hot temperatures will only minimally affect the performance of the vehicle and its fuel efficiency.
- Refilling of hydrogen fuel can be done in a matter of minutes, just like that of a typical gasoline vehicle.
- The fuel cell vehicles are totally production scalable because of their low-weight fuel cell stack design. They are also very compact.
Mike O’Brien, VP of HMA (Hyundai Motor America) Corporate and Product Planning, said that the 1 million mark has given them new vision into the potential of fuel cell vehicles. He said that the Tucson Fuel Cell CUVs achieving the 1 million mark this quickly has amazed them and that the future potential of zero-emissions hydrogen vehicles is unlimited.
