Exclusive Hydrogen version of Audi A7

The Audi has confirmed that he is ready to enter the market of hydrogen cars, which in real time are just a few car companies, and that for the most part with the prototypes. It is expected that the A7 will begin with a hydrogen engine test in August of this year.

Head of the Department of developments in the Audi Wolfgang Dyurhyamer told the British Autocar, the company is developing a fuel cell A7, which run on hydrogen. It is expected that the new product will be part of the family tron-German mark. Recall that this rule was created under electric vehicles, but the true time it is and the car to natural gas.Fuel cells produce electricity and heat through electro-chemical reaction between fuel and oxygen. In the auto industry as fuel hydrogen is used, oxygen is supplied from the environment. The only "exhaust" such a power plant is water.

The electricity generated in the elements used to charge batteries or fed directly to power the electric motor (or motors), which lead car in motion. The heat produced during the reaction can be used by several systems of the car.Audi is not the first time claims to own "hydrogen intention." In 2009, the company has been testing a prototype Q5 HFC, which set up two high-pressure cylinder with hydrogen and befitting power plant comprising two electric motors.

The main obstacle to market hydrogen cars at the moment is the almost total lack of infrastructure for their use.
