Renault: Hybrid study with fuel cell 🎥
ELECTRIC FAMILY CAR Renault's Scenic Vision is a preview of the future electric family car. The concept car features a battery fuel cell hybrid drive and many recycled materials.
According to Renault, the novel hybrid drive and the use of many recycled materials result in a 75 percent lower CO2 footprint compared to a conventional electric vehicle in production and use.
In addition, active safety has been improved with the Safety Coach, which proactively warns the driver of hazards, and the Safe Guardian, which actively intervenes in the driving situation when attention is flagging.
Compact dimensions
At 4.49 meters in length, the Renault Scénic Vision fits into the compact class. The long wheelbase and elongated window areas indicate excellent space.
Air intakes, headlights and daytime running lights create a high-tech look, as do the aerodynamically optimized 21-inch wheels. To ensure the greatest possible ease of entry for driver and passengers, the car is equipped without a B-pillar and with opposing doors.
Future-oriented drive technology
The Scenic Vision's drive technology is also innovative. The study has a hybrid drive system consisting of a separately excited synchronous motor with 160 kW, a 40 kWh battery and a 16 kW fuel cell powered by green hydrogen.
A major advantage of this hydrogen hybrid technology is the short refueling times. Furthermore, water is the only emission product of the fuel cell electric drive.
Sustainable materials
The study also sees itself as part of a larger electrical ecosystem. It has the technical prerequisites for bidirectional charging and can feed electricity back into the grid using vehicle-to-grid technology.
The rear-wheel-drive Scenic Vision is built on a new type of platform with the electric motor at the rear and the hydrogen tank at the front. The new model also sets an example in terms of the use of recycled materials, as it is made from more than 70 percent recycled materials by weight.
