Volkswagen interested in vodorodnaya Bashny.Net

The Volkswagen group has demonstrated at the ongoing Los Angeles international auto show its interest in creating vodorodnaya, presenting two such developments. However, one of them came to California under the logo of Audi, but the essence does not change – all the same powertrain for both brands are developed by one entity of the group VAG.



In strict accordance with the brands ' images both hydrogen concept represent different class cars under the Audi logo presents a large hydrogen station wagon A7 Sportback, and for itself, Volkswagen chose to equip the hydrogen engine more compact wagon Golf SportWagen.

Despite the difference in size and design of the German concepts, the power plant on fuel cells is made on one technology. Only the Volkswagen Golf SportWagen HyMotion made it less powerful. The impact of the hydrogen unit is 134 HP, while the Audi A7 Sportback hTron indicator output 231 HP



The Volkswagen station wagon is also three tanks for liquid hydrogen and they are filled to the eyeballs for the same three minutes. But in the acceleration of the Golf SportWagen HyMotion is a little slower concept Audi – set of the first hundred it takes about 10 seconds. At the same time the range on a full fill-up the same – 500 km.

It is curious that the representatives of Volkswagen is still extremely wary about the serial future both concept cars. According to them, the technology of the power plant on fuel cells is still very expensive, and the lack in most regions of the world developed infrastructure of hydrogen filling stations drastically reduces market profitability vodorodnaya.

While the concept Golf SportWagen HyMotion is created with the purpose only to demonstrate the possibility of modular MQB platform to be adapted to a hydrogen production unit, and the fate of such developments requires long reflection and solid economic justification. But the time when even a hydrogen truck rentals can be rented, according to representatives of Volkswagen are already very close.
