A new fuel cell vehicle which displays an improvement in driving performance and fuel consumption performance has been developed. It is fitted with a fuel cell power train with V Flow FC stack at its core. The new configuration has enabled the achievement of weight savings, increased compactness, with an increase of 200% in weight power density and 220% in volume power density against the previous model. Increased power train efficiency and energy management have increased driving energy efficiency by 60%, resulting in a 20% increase in fuel consumption performance and 30% increase in driving range.
