Mexico's first multi-functional eco-car completes 70%

The research team at UNAM (Mexico's largest university) has developed a multi-purpose eco-car powered by hydrogen and fuel cells. The car's development is part of the ECOVIA project, which is included in the UNAM City and Energy Large Project. From an aesthetic point of view, the car was inspired by the mascot, the mascot of UNAM. The designer said that from the right side, the car is like a rising lion, and the front face is similar to the lion face. The body streamline design is also inspired by the lioness's nape.

As for the engine of the car, just like all hydrogen-powered cars, there will be water, and the fuel cell will use the collected water to generate more hydrogen. The car will be equipped with two hydrogen tanks and a battery. As a hybrid car, when the battery has enough power, the car only uses the fuel cell to charge the battery, but it can also be directly supplied to the transmission system for high. Energy demand, the battery is NiMH. UNAM's model is expected to perform at an average speed of 70-80Km/h (approximately 50-55 mph) and travel 300 km (190 miles) before refueling.

The project has developed 70% of the components of the vehicles that have been used. There is no doubt that if mass production is required, the project will require new, specific materials. Want to know why this car is versatile? Because the platform of the car is designed to be more versatile: ambulance, police, postal, plastic waste recycling, communications, and cultural promotion.
