Hyundai plans to reveal their rather fetching Blue2 (pronounced “Blue square”) hydrogen fuel cell concept later this week at the Seoul Motor Show. We haven’t been seeing many hydrogen-powered cars lately — most of the ongoing eco-craze involves electric cars. Nonetheless, hydrogen-powered cars are considered to be the industry’s endgame, and the “liberator” for polluting vehicles. Exciting stuff.
Blue2′s powertrain delivers a stack power of about 120 hp while managing to get about 82 mpg. Also, like the Volt and Prius, the Blue2 was designed to have an extremely aerodynamic shape and low-rolling-resistance tires to reduce wind and road friction.
Inside the cabin, the Blue2 has some pretty high-tech features. You see those iPads? This Hyundai has tablet mounts in the rear — not just for iPads either. That is exactly how it should be. (None of that proprietary automaker infotainment tech in this concept.) It may be hopeless to ask, but it would be really, really nice if Hyundai followed through with this concept in less than 20 years.
