The Technology That Will Set The Car Free For The Next Century

Core Technology

V Flow FC Stack: a revolutionary new design that takes
the fuel cell vehicle to the next level

Lightweight, compact and powerful

* V Flow FC Stack design for thinner cells and more stable electrical generation
* Wave flow channels for a lighter, more compact stack with significantly greater electrical generation capacity
* - 30?° C startup a reality

Other equipment that enhances driving performance

* Shift By Wire
* Electric Power Steering (EPS)
* Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC)
* Traction Control System (TCS)

Safety Performance

* Omnidirectional collision safety body design
* Pedestrian-injury-reduction body design
* Collision Mitigation Brake System (CMBS) + Automatic Tensioning System (driver and front passenger seat belts)
* Side curtain airbags
* Side airbags (driver and front passenger)
* Frontal airbags (driver and front passenger)
* Hydrogen and high-voltage safety measures
* Hydrogen fuel safety measures

Style

Eye-catching exterior design

A futuristic design based on imaginative thinking that sweeps aside all preconceived notions

* A dynamic, full-sized cabin, advanced packaging, and powerful performance
* A deep, lustrous coating that changes its look with the changing light
* An extra rear window with a polycarbonate film for privacy

An elegant, futuristic interior

* Luxurious interior appointments and premium features consistent with the expectations of sophisticated customers
* Seating for four adults in luxurious comfort

Packaging

Innovative ergonomic packaging

A revolutionary platform that takes full advantage of the V Flow fuel cell vehicle's layout versatility

* Transformed from two boxes to one, the stack fits efficiently into the center tunnel
* The coaxial motor and gearbox configuration contributes to the sleek short-nose design
* The new lithium-ion battery fits neatly under the rear seat, making more room for people
* Functionality enhanced by the single hydrogen tank, creating more rear seat and trunk space
* Front made more compact and elegant by unifying the radiators in a three-layer configuration.

Performance

An all-new dimension in driving feel

Quiet power and a feeling that the acceleration will go on forever

* Improvements of approximately 60% in operational efficiency, 20% in fuel efficiency, and 30% in vehicle range
* A new quiet, high-output, high-torque, high-rpm motor
* A new coaxial configuration of the gearbox with the motor makes the unit more compact and provides more direct power transmission
* A powerful new lithium-ion battery provides power assist and even more efficient storage of energy regenerated in braking

More than a "green car" - it's fun to drive

* A double-wishbone suspension for smooth handling and a comfortable, even ride.
* Electric Power Steering (EPS) integrated with Vehicle Stability Assist for enhanced handling
