The batteries fuel an electric motor rated for 134hp and 221 lb-ft of torque. The company estimates that a top speed of 99mph and a maximum range of over 400 miles is achieved with the setup.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.instablogsimages.com\/images\/2010\/03\/03\/hyundai-tucson_3_8cirk_69.jpg\" alt=\"hyundai tucson_3\"\/><\/p>\n<p>The assembly of the vehicle has been modularized, which reduces the time needed to build each vehicle. Moreover, the plates in the fuel cell stack are switched from graphite to metal and the permanent-magnets have been replaced by induction motors. Hyundai aims to produce fuel-cell vehicles in numbers in \u201cthe low thousands\u201d by 2012.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.instablogsimages.com\/images\/2010\/03\/03\/hyundai-tucson_4_5aoLX_69.jpg\" alt=\"hyundai tucson_4\"\/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.instablogsimages.com\/images\/2010\/03\/03\/hyundai-tucson_5_CqCoh_69.jpg\" alt=\"hyundai tucson_5\"\/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.instablogsimages.com\/images\/2010\/03\/03\/hyundai-tucson_6_iOiTw_69.jpg\" alt=\"hyundai tucson_6\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Via: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.caranddriver.com\/news\/car\/10q1\/hyundai_tucson_ix35_hydrogen_fuel-cell_electric_vehicle-auto_shows\">Car and Driver<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Eco Factor: Zero-emission vehicle powered by hydrogen.
