Eco Factor: Zero-emission electric car powered by hydrogen fuel cells.

Kia has released new footage of their latest fuel cell prototype vehicle, the Borrego FCEV. The vehicle is a rear/all-wheel drive SUV, where the front wheels are propelled via a 110KW AC electric motor. The vehicle gets its juice from a 115KW fuel cell stack located under the passenger compartment.

The company claims that the vehicle’s fuel cell stack works with air at ambient pressure eliminating the need for a compressor. Moreover, the efficient stack is claimed to be capable of converting 98% of all the hydrogen into power.

The Borrego FCEV also harvests energy from a regenerative braking mechanism and stores it in a super-capacity for release when extra power boost is needed. The fuel-cell stack is slated to be good for a range of up to 425 miles.
