Future of Sustainable Driving

Hydrogen power is clearly a part of the future of sustainable driving.  French automaker Renault has just unveiled an awesome hydrogen powered concept car.  It's called the Scenic Vision and is powered by a hydrogen engine, electric motor and a battery fuel cell.  There is a 2.5-liter hydrogen tank on the front of the vehicle.  The tank takes only 5 minutes to fill. The car's 40-kilowatt battery is recyclable.  Renault, which is owned by Nissan, says that Scenic Vision represents part of the company's longer-term vision of the future of sustainable driving and will go into production in 2030. In the meantime, an all-electric version of Scenic Vision will go into production in 2024.

Future of Hydrogen Cars

Renault believes that hydrogen will be a big part of the future of powering cars.  The big benefit of hydrogen is that it greatly extends the range of zero emissions driving.  Renault says Scenic Vision has a range of 497 miles.  The key to widespread use of hydrogen cars is the establishment of a network of hydrogen refueling stations.  Renault has a joint venture with New York-based Plug Power to start rolling out hydrogen refueling stations.  Other automakers developing hydrogen cars include BMW, Hyundai and Toyota.  Interestingly, Renault says the Scenic Vision will be made of 70% recyclable material and that 95% of the vehicle can be recycled at the end of its use.
