Bit Of Fuel Cell Power For New Audi?

Sunday, November 29th, 2009

This isnt actually a brand new car I am talking about here, but a scooter which at least means that technology is moving forward.

Unveiled at the 41st Tokyo Motor Show the fuel cell powered scooter was a big hit. To make this amazing scooter Intelligent Energy have had the help of Suzuki in terms of support and of course finanical backing.

Having stunned the motorcycle world two years ago with the Crosscage fuel cell motorbike, Intelligent Energy and Suzuki have now applied this advanced fuel cell technology to a more accessible form of two-wheeled transportation.

The city-friendly Suzuki Burgman Fuel Cell Scooter is a demonstration of the potential for zero emissions motorcycles to significantly reduce emissions around the world. Surprisingly, Hydrogen actually gives quite a bit of fuel which means the scooters actually have quite a good bit of riding range.

The scooter of course takes all the latest technology that is available and makes a clean fuel cell engine that is actually quite simple to mass manufacture.
“The zero-emissions Burgman scooter is the latest product of the successful commercial relationship between Suzuki and Intelligent Energy”, commented Dr. Henri Winand, CEO at Intelligent Energy.

“Of course, these clean fuel cell engine powered motorcycles are not simply for motor shows, and can be widely available to everyone in the near future. It actually already has a market of just over 40 million units per annum meaning there is a hell of a lot to get out of it all. Intelligent Energy and Suzuki are actually going to start working even closer on making these vehicles even better and will be holding various tryouts soon

So there you have it, the possible future for the car. Let us just hope that it does come to the car industry in the near future and doesn’t end up as a cheap Audi Of course for the time being you could go for a current car like the Audi R8 or the Audi TT Roadster.
