Fiat researches hydrogen



Fiat has announced details of the Panda Hydrogen, a prototype powered by a hydrogen fuel cell.

The Panda Hydrogen incorporates a full power system, with no battery required for the accumulation of electrical energy.

The hydrogen that feeds the fuel cell is contained at a pressure of 350 bars in a tank made out of composite material installed beneath the car’s rear floor pan.
