![]() ![]() The Audi h-tron quattro concept demonstrates the fifth generation of fuel cell technology from Audi and Volkswagen. The protons diffuse through the membrane to the cathode, where they react at the catalyst with oxygen from the air and the electrons to form water vapor (the membrane is only permeable for protons, not for electrons). ![]() Hydrogen is supplied to the anode, where it is broken down by the catalyst into protons and electrons. On either side there are electrodes coated with a platinum-based catalyst. ![]() The core of each cell is a polymer membrane. Its 330 cells form what is known as a 'stack.' Depending on the load point it operates in the voltage range of 220 to 280 volts. In the concept car, the fuel cell is installed in the forward structure. ![]() This concept is particularly versatile even though the energy sources differ, both cars share an almost identical floor assembly. Like the Audi e-tron quattro concept, the concept car takes the second-generation modular longitudinal platform (MLB evo) as its basis. With the Audi h-tron quattro concept, Audi documents its expertise in all areas of forward-looking technology. But a new technical solution now comes into play: The 'h' in its name represents the element hydrogen – the energy source for the fuel cell. The concept car Audi h-tron quattro concept is closely related to the purely battery-powered Audi e-tron quattro concept exhibited at the 2015 Frankfurt Motor Show. (concept carz) The technology study already provides a glimpse of things to come.Īudi is drawing on a wide variety of technologies in securing the mobility of the future, and thus providing an attractive proposition for every customer in every market. In another major step, Audi will go into production with its new technologies for piloted driving and parking in 2017 along with the next generation of the A8 luxury sedan. ![]()
