Audi A7 h-tron quattro Fuel Cell Concept Debuts In L.A.

It was back in June that we initially learned Audi was taking a shot at an adaptation of its A7 fueled by a hydrogen energy unit. Today, at the 2014 Los Angeles Auto Show, the German automaker has exhibited its A7 energy component vehicle which has been marked the A7 h-tron quattro. Despite the fact that still an idea, the vehicle demonstrates that the brand with the four rings is prepared to convey such innovation ought to the business sector request it.

Dissimilar to a large portion of the power device vehicles we’ve seen previously, the A7 h-tron quattro, as its name recommends, characteristics four-wheel drive. An electric engine is fitted at both axles, with the power to power them originating from either the energy unit or a lithium-particle battery that can be energized from home or finished up with renew braking.

Crest yield for the framework is 170 kilowatts (228 strength) and 398 pound-feet of torque, and the driving range on a full tank of hydrogen is 310 miles. This reach can be supported by 31 miles if the vehicle’s battery is additionally completely charged.

Notwithstanding all the tech, the vehicle weighs 4,299, which is practically identical with numerous extravagance vehicles today. It will likewise sprint to 62 mph from rest in a sensible 7.9 seconds. Top velocity is 112 mph. A force meter—in the spot of the rev counter in the instrument bunch educates the driver of the passing power stream.

There are four hydrogen tanks fitted to the vehicle, spotted underneath the base of the storage compartment, before the back pivot, and in the focal point burrow. An external skin produced using carbon fiber fortified polymer (CFRP) encases the internal aluminum shell.

As said, there are no arrangements to put the A7 h-tron quattro into creation, however some of its innovation may show up in a hydrogen-fueled power module vehicle from Audi one day.
