It’s an increasingly valid alternative to electric cars and now comes a crazy hydrogen engine: here are the details.
We’ve been hearing that for some time now the only future of mobility is electric. However, for the moment this power system seems to be finding it increasingly difficult to establish itself. In fact, there are several issues that are holding back the spread of zero-emission cars. First, there is the question of costs of this type of vehicle, too high to be sustainable. And then there are other reasons, including problems with autonomy and the distrust of a large part of the population.
However, we will soon be forced to say goodbye forever to combustion cars thermal. In fact, from 2035 onwards in Europe it will no longer be possible to sell or register thermal combustion cars. Will be a pivotal and fundamental date for the ecological transitionalthough many are already thinking about the possibility of a postponement of this very important date.
In the meantime, in addition to electric, alternative types of power are spreading which could mark a strong step forward with regards to the ecological transition. Among these, it undoubtedly stands out hydrogena technology in which more and more is being invested.
The 650 horsepower hydrogen engine
Companies are working on this incredible engine Bosch Engineering and Ligier Automotive, who have been collaborating for some time on the development of hydrogen-powered internal combustion engines. They were based on the Ligier JS2 R racing car and announced dei significant progress which could forever rewrite the future of mobility as we used to think of it.
The three-liter V6 engine with a turbocharger designed at the beginning, it then underwent some important mechanical changes, increasing its power from 571 HP to 602 HP.
Is the future in hydrogen? The road is increasingly open
The idea of combining High performancecomparable to that of racing cars, to zero-emission cars represents an important step forward in terms of technology. Innovation and sustainability they can also go hand in hand in the racing sector, paving the way for future applications regarding road supercars.
The JS2 RH2 prototype under extreme testing conditions highlights the full potential of this technology which could revolutionize this sector forever.
