Suzuki SX4-FCV Fuel Cell
Vehicle
(03/07/2008) |
Suzuki has developed a compact fuel cell vehicle based on the SX4 model
and has received approval to test it on public roads in Japan.
Suzuki has been developing fuel cell
vehicles in partnership with General Motors since 2001. So far, it has
tested three fuel cell mini vehicles on public roads: the MR Wagon-FCV
and Wagon R-FCV in October 2003 and the MR Wagon-FCV again in December
2004.
The SX4-FCV delivers superior running
performance by means of a GM-made high-performance fuel cell, a
Suzuki-developed 70MPa hydrogen tank, and a light, compact capacitor
that recovers energy during brake application and uses it to reduce fuel
cell loading during acceleration. Suzuki plans to test the SX4-FCV on
public roads in Japan and use the results in development aimed at future
commercialisation.
