pThe a title=”Hyundai Tucson FCEV” href=”http://www.hydrogencarsnow.com/hyundai-tucson-hybrid-fcev.htm” target=”_blank”Hyundai Tucson FCEV/a was first introduced in 2004. The vehicle had a top speed of 93 mph and a driving range of 186 miles. The Hyundai Tucson ix35 FCEV however has a top speed of around 99 mph and a driving range of over 400 miles./p
pThe electric motor of the Hyundai Tucson ix35 is rated at 134 hp and the Korean automaker is introducing various ways to reduce production costs in anticipation of the rollout in just 2 years./p
pFor instance, inside the fuel cell, graphite is being switched to a less costly metal, induction motors are being used rather than permanent-magnet and lithium batteries are replacing ultracapacitors./p
