Details of Renault's Scénic Vision concept car were presented to the public on May 19, 2022. The firm's idea of developing a passenger vehicle that uses hydrogen technology is not unique.
Renault has released details of an electric-hydrogen hybrid concept car, with the French automaker describing hydrogen technology as being "one of the options to make electric vehicles more convenient."
The design for Renault's Scenic Vision incorporates a hydrogen engine, electric motor, battery, fuel cell and a hydrogen tank. The 2.5 kilogram tank is located at the vehicle's front and, Renault said, would take around five minutes to fill.
According to a document published on Thursday that outlined the concept, the Scenic Vision's 40 kilowatt hour battery is recyclable and will be produced at a facility in France by 2024.
In a statement, Gilles Vidal, who is director of design at Renault, said the concept "prefigures the exterior design of the new Scénic 100% electric model for 2024." The company said the electric-hydrogen powertrain was "part of a longer-term vision, beyond 2030"...
