New fluid concept from Hyundai for Geneva
Like the look of this one? So do we. It's a teaser picture from Hyundai for a concept we'll see at Geneva next March, writes Brian Byrne.
The Intrado will be more than a svelte and sexy come hither machine for the Korean maker's stand, it will also be showcasing a second generation fuel cell powertrain developed by the company which promises to be lighter and smaller than the current experimental ones.
It will also preview a possible new direction in car building for the brand, as the advanced composite materials used will also feature a new joining method.
Fuel cell power for cars is no longer a dream in an engineer's eye — Hyundai is leasing an FC version of its Tucson (ix35 here) in California next spring.
