Peugeot Citroen unveils smallest fuel cell
“This technology is still at its early stages but offers a real answer for the future,” he said, as PSA unveiled the Genepac fuel cell — an 80 KW power unit the size of a big suitcase that can be used in light municipal vehicles. It can run for 500km (310 miles).
PSA officials said that the cost and size of the fuel cells remained a problem that needed to be solved. Part of the fuel cell is made from platinum, which is an expensive precious metal. At 57 litres, Genepac is much smaller than previous versions but would still not fit in a small passenger car.
Folz remained scathing about petrol hybrid engines, such as developed by Japanese rival Toyota Motor, saying these still consume more than diesel engines. According to the Washington-based Society of Automotive Engineers, a fuel cell can be two or three times more efficient than an internal combustion engine.
