Hydrogen crossover Audi Q6 h-tron quattro debuts in Detroit Bashny.Net

Audi will show a concept version of the e-tron quattro with the power plant on hydrogen fuel cells at the Detroit motor show in January.





German news agencies reported that the most likely vodorodnoi Q6 h-tron will receive the same MLB platform as its all-electric counterpart – the concept e-tron quattro. In this battery, which was placed as close as possible to the bottom of the offset center of gravity will be replaced by hydrogen fuel cells.

Talk about the upcoming new Audi representatives were reticent about its distinctive features, however, it was noted that it would be "concept cars with innovative power-driven" and will show it to the public at the January motor show.

It is known that the name "h-tron" it was the Bavarian brand in the beginning of this year. The Germans are already trying to spread hydrogen technology around the market, in particular, with the recently debuted hatchback A7 h-tron, but this is what prevents insufficiently developed gas infrastructure.





Audi engineers say that hydrogen fuel has a great future, as to its getting easier and easier: it is currently used wind turbines whose energy splits the water into hydrogen and oxygen.

The design of the hydrogen crossover h-tron quattro will hardly differ significantly from electric Q6 concept, planned to be released in 2018 as a competitor to the electric car Tesla Model X. Recall, Audi e-tron quattro can accelerate to "hundreds" for 4,6 seconds, and its maximum speed is 210 km/h – will provide three electric motors with a total capacity of 429 HP, the range of the vehicle is 500 km, and its cost will be within 90 thousand dollars.

It is easy to guess that the new car fuel cells will be used all the latest developments of Audi: from a wireless charging battery and the functions of the autopilot to optics on organic light emitting diodes. If it comes to mass production, the h-tron will become a competitor in the first place, for these hydrogen-powered vehicles, like the Hyundai ix35 Fuel Cell (Tucson Fuel Cell, Toyota Mirai FCV and Clarity. published
