Volkswagen Touran Hymotion: Fuel Cell Hybrid Vehicle Plus Top
Rate VW Replacement Parts
Automakers know that rising oil prices and tougher environmental
rules will increase the public's interest in vehicles that use
less fuel with reduced tail pipe emissions.
Hybrids increase fuel efficiency by capturing the energy
normally lost to friction braking and storing it in a battery
for later use when driving power is again required. Unlike
internal combustion engine hybrids, Volkswagen's hydrogen fuel
cell hybrid emits only water.
The VW Touran Hymotion has high-torque electric motor that draws
its power from a fuel cell and is absolutely emission free. The
standard version, driven by petrol and diesel engines, which are
as agile as they are economical, is by far the most successful
van available in Germany. In the Touran HyMotion, an 80 kW
electric motor provides vehement propulsion.
The core element of this fuel cell is an extremely thin plastic
film (membrane). This spatially separates the reagents, hydrogen
and oxygen. The hydrogen is broken down into positively and
negatively charged particles (protons and electrons). The
protons are able to pass directly through the membrane, whilst
the electrons take a more indirect route via an external current
circuit, driving the electric motor. On the other side of the
membrane, the protons, electrons and oxygen combine to form
water.
The hydrogen is transported in gaseous form at 350 bar in a
special tank fitted in the Touran. A capacity of 1.9 kg hydrogen
when converted corresponds to the energy contained in 7.5 litres
of petrol. In combination with the electric motor's high
efficiency, this quantity of hydrogen provides the vehicle with
a range of approximately 160 kilometres.
