Volkswagen Golf HyMotion, hydrogen reaches the compact family

Volkswagen Golf HyMotion, hydrogen reaches the compact family


In the Hall of Los Angeles the only novelty on the familiar body of Golf is not the Golf Variant R 300 horses. The compact family brand is aimed at fashion hydrogen prototypes and shows us their technology. The Volkswagen Golf HyMotion is a prototype and marketing is not provided, at least in the near future.


In paragraph aesthetic this Volkswagen Golf Variant (SportWagen US) shows no different from any other that can mount a TSI or TDI engine. Everything is new underbody. What about showing Volkswagen is that their cars can be adapted to any technology without resorting to eccentric designs like the Toyota Mirai and retaining all the functions of a traditional car.

It has maximized the space available to accommodate all elements of this fuel cell car without losing habitability. Thus the Volkswagen Golf HyMotion battery located in the engine compartment, near the electric motor is responsible for moving the front wheels. The lithium-ion electric system is located behind the rear seats, while the four hydrogen tanks are located under the rear seats and under the boot floor. The 12 volt battery is also located on the left side of the cargo space.


In terms of performance, this Volkswagen Golf HyMotion has a range of 500 kilometers and can recharge the tanks in about three minutes. With 136 horsepower, it is capable of 0-100 in 10 seconds flat. The lithium-ion battery is used to start the fuel cell and to recharge energy during deceleration. It is also responsible for providing more power to the electric motor in specific phases of high demand. No car may walk only with battery power, something he can do the Audi A7 Sportback h-tron , which is pluggable.

It would be unreasonable in the not too distant future we saw some model of hydrogen, especially if the Japanese as Honda and Toyota this option.
