Highlights
World’s first series-production The ix35 Fuel Cell was awarded first place for 2013 Price Future Auto for being the first auto maker to successfully begin series production 2 years ahead of competitors.
More miles covered The 4th generation of Fuel Cell vehicles has a maximum range of 594 km on a single tank of fuel. You will be surprised to know that it takes only 3 minutes to charge.
Absolutely environmental The ix35 Fuel Cell vehicle produces zero harmful tailpipe emissions. The only thing to come out of the tailpipe is water.
Pure innovation in the ix35 Fuel CellHyundai ix35 Fuel Cell Electric Vehicle (FCEV) profile summary
Most eco-friendlyThe ix35 Fuel Cell emits zero CO2. Enough said. * The EU will restrict emissions gas levels to 130 g/km by 2015 and to 95 g/km by 2020.
Nothing like itFuel cells may power the ix35 Fuel Cell motor, but when it comes to performance, it’s as if you have an internal combustion engine. * Maximum output of the fuel cell is 100 kw or 136 ps.
Better fuel economyOnly 9.5 grams of hydrogen is all what the ix35 Fuel Cell requires to drive 1 kilometer. Converted to gasoline this corresponds to 27.8 km/liter. * Car compared is an in-house 2.0 model sold on the market today. * The distance ix35 Fuel Cell can go using hydrogen energy is similar to that of a car running on energy generated from 1 ℓ of gasoline fuel.
Impressive tank This tank stores 5.63 kg of hydrogen and can stand up to 700-bars of pressure A bar (unit of pressure) is similar to 1 atmospheric pressure, which is the air pressure exerted on a person in everyday life.
Quietly spectacularSince the ix35 Fuel Cell has an electric motor instead of an engine powered by fuel combustion, it makes significantly less noise than convenitional cars.
Market forecastThe environmentally friendly car market is projected to continue growing based on high demand for green vehicles.

Technology
Key parts of the ix35 Fuel Cell
Hydrogen tankThe hydrogen tank of the ix35 Fuel Cell stores the hydrogen for the vehicle. Thanks to the 700-bar high pressure hydrogen tank, the ix35 Fuel Cell has an operating range of 594 km per charge.
Fuel Cell stackHydrogen and oxygen combine in the fuel cell stack to produce electricity that powers the ix35 Fuel Cell. Water is the only byproduct of this reaction, making the ix35 Fuel Cell a truly zero-CO₂-emissions vehicle.
InverterThe inverter converts a high-voltage direct current from the fuel cell stack to an alternating current, which is supplied to operate the electric motor. It also controls rotation speed and torque.
Electric drive motor and reducerAn electric drive motor, a powertrain connecting the motor with wheels, converts electric energy supplied through an inverter into mechanical torque. When decelerating, the motor also converts mechanical torque to electricity, which is then stored in the battery. The reducer, playing the role of a gearshift, amplifies torque by adjusting the motor’s rotational speed, allowing efficient vehicle operation on various terrains.
High voltage batteryThe ix35 Fuel Cell is equipped with a lightweight and compact lithium-polymer battery with high output and efficiency. It temporarily stores a portion of the electricity generated by the fuel cell stack. Electricity stored in the battery, along with electricity generated from the stack, gives you an extra boost during acceleration.
Convenience
Supervision cluster
With an elegant color scheme, the Supervision cluster adds to the design’s sophistication.
Better screen visibility informs the driver of the vehicle’s status and more while being easy on the eyes.
Tilt and telescopic steering wheelThe steering wheel can be adjusted up and down, in and out until it’s exactly to your liking.
Energy flow modesThe display shows various vehicle modes: Fuel Cell Mode, Idle Charging Mode, Power Assist Mode and Regenerative Braking Mode.
-
Fuel Cell ModeHydrogen stored in the tank and the atmosphere’s oxygen are supplied to the Fuel Cell stack to generate electricity, which is then supplied to the motor to drive the car.
-
Idle Charging ModeThe hybrid batteries are charged by the fuel cell when the battery charging level is low.
-
Power Assist ModeThe electricity generated in the fuel cell stack is used together with electricity stored in the high-voltage battery to boost output temporarily.
-
Regenerative Braking ModeThe kinetic energy of the car is converted back to electricity through the motor to recharge the high-voltage battery.
Electric drive motor and reducerThe “E mode” for normal driving is a unique feature of the motor-driven ix35 Fuel Cell. The “L mode” is a low-speed mode that enables the engine to brake like any conventional vehicle.
