Fiat Panda Hydrogen Concept Car
The 2006 Fiat Panda Hydrogen Concept Car features Nuvera’s new Andromeda II fuel cell stack. This hydrogen fuel stack cell allows the vehicle to have high power density and durability, as well as cold start capability.
Overall, the Fiat Panda Hydrogen Car’s system has three main fuel cell components which include an advanced turbo-blower, a cooling and humidifying system to correctly manage the reagent gases, and the auxiliary components set. With these systems, they allow the vehicle to function at a higher power and also it allows for smooth handling.
The fuel cell and hydrogen tank in the Fiat Panda Hydrogen Car are placed beneath the floor pan unlike the 2004 version of the Panda Hydrogen Car where the fuel cell stack was located underneath the hood. In the 2006 model, the transmission and alternating current three-phase asynchronous electric engine (60 kw) is located underneath the hood. Fiat also states that the electrical power generation system is so efficient that 60-percent is available and just 20-percent maximum power.
The 2006 Fiat Panda Hydrogen Car uses a full power system and it is lacked a drive battery for the accumulation of electrical energy. The Panda Concept receives enough energy directly from hydrogen tank to fuel cell to deliver the needed electricity to its high-torque electrical motors. The 2006 Panda Concept can accelerate from 0 to 30 mph in 5 seconds and can reach a maximum speed of about 78 miles per hour. The Panda Hydrogen Car also boasts a travel distance of more than 120 miles and refueling time less than 5 minutes.
The 2006 Fiat Panda Hydrogen Car was exhibited in February of 2006 at the first ever Hydrogen Olympics in Turin, Italy. And now in Italy you can find some Fiat Panda hydrogen car on the road.
