A new breakthrough in the automobile market is the idea of a hybrid car, powered by hydrogen. It was developed by the German Aerospace Center (DLR) and promises to revolutionize the sector.
The central idea is that this car has a greater autonomy. Thus, when fueled with hydrogen, the vehicle will be able to run up to 1,000 km. Quite an innovative concept, isn't it?

The hydrogen powered car
Firstly, the car developed by the German Aerospace Center works on the same key ideas as the electric model, but will also have the possibility of using hydrogen as fuel.
Thus, the IUV, as the car is called, combines a fuel cell with a power of 45kW, a hydrogen pressure tank of 700 bar and 7.5 kg of storage, in addition to a 48 kWh battery.
Therefore, it will be able to travel up to 1,000 km with a single charge, that is, it will not be necessary to stop at the gas station. fuel several times along the way, as it will be able to travel long distances after loaded.
What is the replenishment process like?
As this will be a hybrid vehicle, powered by electricity and hydrogen, its refueling model will be a little different from the others. As a result, refueling the IUV at a hydrogen station will take practically the same time to fill as a regular gas tank.
The battery, however, will be able to charge separately, by means of electric current. Or even a plug-in system, with a fuel cell at the front of the car and the battery at the back.
The car is 5 meters long, in which all the equipment can be well distributed. In this sense, it will be able to carry 5 passengers and can be used on long trips.
