Opel HydroGen3

Automobiles

The Opel HydroGen3 was a hydrogen fuel cell concept vehicle that Opel, then part of General Motors, used for testing; the article dates that testing to 2006. It was a five-seat, front-wheel-drive prototype in the compact MPV class, based on the first-generation Opel Zafira, and it was also known under the Chevrolet and Daewoo names. A stack of 200 fuel cells delivering 94 kW fed a 60 kW three-phase asynchronous electric motor, giving a top speed of 160 km/h, a 0 to 100 km/h time of 16 seconds and a range of 400 km, the longest of any fuel cell vehicle then approved for public roads in Japan. Hydrogen was carried either as liquid hydrogen in a 68 litre tank or as compressed gas at 700 bar. The HydroGen4 was its successor.
