In this respect, the company Kia is a very strong trump card.
One of the reasons for the creation of cars on alternative fuel company called “deselect”.
And Kia does not intend to ignore the fuel cell vehicles. Moreover, the neighbor in the Alliance – Hyundai – there are good achievements in this direction.
Albert Biermann, head of engineering, confirmed that the company is planning a new vodorodnaya: “are we Working on the “killer” Tesla like other companies?
I can say that there is not working. But I can’t say that we have closed this area once and for all: when the time comes, we’ll just do it — release a vehicle on demand of the market, because we have our own center where we are developing areas to create environmentally friendly vehicles. And we are developing including car fuel cell”.
The company is Hyundai crossover ix35 Fuel Cell. We can assume that the Kia will use the same powerplant. As a base to create vodorodnaya can take the compact Sportage, the dimensions of which allow you to fit all the components without much damage to space of passengers.
One of the main problems faced by FCEL-cars, is the lack of infrastructure of filling stations. However, some companies have already started mass production of such vehicles: the Toyota Mirai, Honda Clarity Fuel Cell; the “German Troika” also there are developments in this area.
