In Kozani – and for the first time in Greece – there is an electric car with hydrogen cells, greekcitytimes.com records.
The Hyundai SUV, which was presented to the Greek public at the start of the 1st Exhibition – Innovation Conference, organized by the Region of Western Macedonia, has the aim of highlighting the use of hydrogen in transport.
Filling the car’s tank takes five minutes and ensures a range of about 600 kilometers. Instead of exhausting pollutants, it produces clean drinking water.
Today, there are over 5000 hydrogen cars in circulation in Europe and around 200 hydrogen refueling stations are operating.
In Brussels, where the specific car presented in Kozani is in circulation, there are three hydrogen stations, but none yet in the Balkans.
Two carmakers – Hyundai and Toyota – have already begun commercial production of hydrogen models. Others have shown the first demonstration models and almost all are investing in the technology with the prospect of integrating it directly into their production process.
