Audi H Tron Quattro: the world stands on hydrogen

The concept Audi H Tron Quattro, which Audi presented at the Detroit Auto Show (Naias 2016), reveals the great potential of fuel cells and predicts dire times for petroleum products. Namely, the study drives exclusively on electric drive, and its energy source is hydrogen. It is powered by two electric motors, the front one develops power 90 kW, and the last one 140 kW. From a standstill to 100 km/h, this electrified Quattro can accelerate in seven seconds. A full tank of fuel transports it 600 kilometers far, and the tank is filled to the top in about four minutes. The battery is on the floor and (for now) delivers 100 kW of power to the two electric motors. The speed is limited at 200 km/h (550 Nm).

The Audi H-tron Quattro is based on the second generation architecture MLB Evo, which is also used by the new Audi Q7 and Bentley Bentayga. The engineers installed it autonomous driving and parking technology, which promises the Audi A8 as the first production model in 2017. The controller for assistance systems is the brain of the system. In real time with help 3D cameras, radar and sensors it recognizes the surroundings and feeds the assistance systems and the system for autonomous driving and parking with data. He can drive alone in a compact column or in traffic jams and on highways up to a speed of 60 km/h. Also new is the technology for touch screens, which are not only larger, but also with perceptual response, which means that we feel the touch. In the back, we don't find a bench, but separate seats, each of which somehow has its own screen.
