The hydrogen tank is under the seat, and the exhaust pipe drains water without exhausting! Do you dare to take the hydrogen car of Chase?

Remember that water-hydrogen car with "no refueling, no charging, cruising range of more than 500 kilometers, and the cruising range of the car can reach 1000 kilometers"? It is a joke to drive the car body with the hydrogen generated by electrolytic water, but hydrogen energy has never been put down in the automobile industry. It is clean, efficient and cheap. At this year's Beijing Auto Show, SAIC· Chase introduced a hydrogen energy MPV.

The hydrogen energy exhibition car is based on Datong G20 and named EUNIQ? 7。 The shape of the whole vehicle is basically the same as that of the fuel version G20, except that it is painted in blue and white, which symbolizes cleanliness and energy saving. The interior part is also highly consistent with the fuel version. Electronic gear lever and electronic handbrake are all available, and sports and economy driving modes are also provided. The difference of this car is reflected by opening the engine compartment cover. The engine and gearbox in the engine compartment are replaced by a set of fuel cell modules, which is more concise and clear than the design in the fuel G20 compartment.

Didn't we say good hydrogen energy? Why did you install the battery? In fact, the core of Datong's exhibition car is hydrogen energy, and the fuel cell module is only a part of its powertrain. In addition, there are hydrogen systems, three-in-one electric drive systems and power batteries. Simply put, the whole vehicle realizes the effect of hydrogen energy on the body through a mode of hydrogen power generation-battery energy storage-electric drive, which is much more practical than the absurd process of water driving the body.

Since it is a hydrogen energy vehicle, its core is naturally hydrogen. Chase Yunik? 7 is equipped with three hydrogen storage tanks, which are located in the center of the chassis and under the seat. Someone should be worried about its safety at this time. In fact, in addition to its relatively safe position, it is made of aviation-grade carbon fiber, with a fiber wall thickness of 26.5mm, which can not be penetrated even by 7.62 caliber bullets. The compressive strength of hydrogen tank reaches 70MPa, which is equivalent to that of Jiaolong submersible working in 7000 meters deep sea. ...

The difficulty of hydrogen storage has overcome other aspects, so the problem is not big. In addition to the fuel cell located in the front, in EUNIQ? On the rear subframe, there is a "three-in-one" electric drive module and a ternary lithium battery pack, forming a small closed loop of power output. This assembly can cope with the short-term failure of hydrogen power and drive the car body by storing electricity. It is worth mentioning that, as a clean energy vehicle, hydrogen will not produce exhaust gas after combustion, but it will produce water. So, EUNIQ? The exhaust pipe of 7 has also become a "drainage pipe" that drains water without exhausting.

According to the official data given by Chase, EUNIQ? The gas tank with 6.4kg hydrogen storage capacity of 7 can be filled in 3 minutes at the hydrogen refueling station. In this state, the NEDC cruising range of the car body can reach 605km. This is also a big advantage of hydrogen energy vehicles compared with pure electric vehicles. Compared with some electric cars that "charge for five hours and drive 300 kilometers", EUNIQ? 7 "Inflate for three minutes and drive 600 kilometers" is more practical.

So chasing EUNIQ? 7 is not a concept car, nor does it just stay in the PPT stage without mass production. It is a real hydrogen MPV. But in reality, there are only a handful of hydrogen refueling stations in China, and there are still many problems with this car. I only hope that the automobile industry can push back the progress of infrastructure construction, not to mention that it is as common as gas stations and needs to be bought as the coverage rate of charging stations. At that time, electric cars would be lonely.
