Peugeot wishes to invest in a new mobility solution with zero CO2 emissions, without compromise, and to position itself as the leader in hydrogen mobility.
The fuel cell powered by hydrogen perfectly meets the most stringent requirements in terms of emission-free mobility: it allows all types of use without emitting anything other than water, but above all, it allows rapid refueling.
Three minutes are enough to store enough energy to travel more than 400 km in purely electric mode.
The e-Expert Hydrogen fuel cell is powered by a tank made up of 3 cylinders with a capacity of 4.4 kg of hydrogen, stored under 700 bars of pressure.
This is located under the rear floor.
It therefore does not encroach on the vehicle's loading space (up to 6.1m³), nor on its payload (up to 1,100 kg) or its towing capacity (up to 1,000 kg).
The fuel cell is associated with a rechargeable lithium-ion battery with a capacity of 10.5 kWh.
Located under the seats, it powers the electric motor (100 kW – 260 Nm) in certain driving phases.
Thus, at start-up and at low speed, the battery alone provides the engine with the necessary power, while at stabilized speed, the fuel cell supplies energy directly to the electric motor, and during acceleration, overtaking and or uphill, the fuel cell and battery work together to supply power to the electric motor.
For the time being, the e-Expert Hydrogen is only marketed in France and Germany.
With us, we will have to wait for the distribution network to develop a minimum, just as discussions are still underway regarding possible government aid.
