VW Touran HyMotion: A hydrogen and fuel-cell powered Touran

GermanCarFans has some pictures of two VW Touran HyMotion under the Golden Gate bridge which will participate in the fourth CaFCP Road Rally.

Both Touran HyMotion vehicles are equipped with the 80 kW electric engine powered by fuel cells. The press, politicians, the government, environmental groups as well as members of student organisations have the opportunity to become familiar with the vehicles and their emissions-free technology during test drives.

The standard version of the Touran, powered by petrol and diesel engines which are both agile and economical, is the most popular van by far in Germany. In the Touran HyMotion, however, an 80 kW electric engine is the power source. The electricity is provided by a chemical reactor: the fuel cell. The performance figures are impressive: in 14 seconds from 0 to 100 km/h and a top speed of 140 km/h.
