Land Rover Defender Dengan Sel Bahan Bakar Hidrogen Sedang Dibangunkan

Defender go-anywhere, do-anything akan mendapat tenaga sel bahan bakar hidrogen tidak lama lagi.

Land Rover mungkin telah membelah basis peminat ketika mereka membina Defender serba baharu di atas casis monocoque, tetapi tidak dapat dinafikan bahawa mereka mengena tepat sekali dengan pasaran hari ini. Di banyak pasaran di seluruh dunia, Defender baharu menjual lebih baik dari yang dijangkakan, yang menyebabkan kanibisasi model Land Rover lain.

Syarikat ini juga berada di tengah-tengah dorongan ke arah kelestarian yang lebih besar selain penggunaan bahan yang lebih mesra alam. Selain penambahan kenderaan elektrik, syarikat itu juga akan memperkenalkan powertrain berkuasa hidrogen dan calon yang terbaik adalah tidak lain dan tidak bukan Defender.

Prototaip Defender Hydrogen Fuel Cell Electric Vehicle (FCEV) mereka akan menjalani ujian tahun ini. Mereka memanggilnya Project Zeus dan mendapat sebahagian dana dari pemerintah UK. Ia akan melibatkan syarikat seperti Delta Motorsport, AVL, Marelli Automotive Systems dan UK Industrialization Center (UKBIC). Mereka perlu banyak berkejar, memandangkan Toyota, Honda dan banyak yang lain sudah memiliki kemajuan 2 generasi dalam kenderaan PRODUKSI berkuasa hidrogen.

Sehingga kereta itu siap, kita hanya dapat membuat spekulasi akan apa yang akhirnya JLR akan memanggil hidrogen off-roader produksi mereka. Defender H2, mungkin, jika Hummer tidak keberatan untuk berkongsi.

MEDIA RELEASE

Jaguar Land Rover is developing a prototype hydrogen fuel cell electric vehicle (FCEV) based on the new Land Rover Defender, with testing scheduled to begin this year.

The FCEV concept is part of Jaguar Land Rover’s aim to achieve zero tailpipe emissions by 2036, and net zero carbon emissions across its supply chain, products and operations by 2039, in line with the Reimagine strategy announced last month.

FCEVs, which generate electricity from hydrogen to power an electric motor, are complimentary to battery electric vehicles (BEVs) on the journey to net zero vehicle emissions. Hydrogen-powered FCEVs provide high energy density and rapid refuelling, and minimal loss of range in low temperatures, making the technology ideal for larger, longer-range vehicles, or those operated in hot or cold environments.

Since 2018, the global number of FCEVs on the road has nearly doubled while hydrogen refuelling stations have increased by more than 20%**. By 2030, forecasts predict hydrogen-powered FCEV deployment could top 10 million with 10,000 refuelling stations worldwide*.

Jaguar Land Rover’s advanced engineering project, known as Project Zeus, is part funded by the government-backed Advanced Propulsion Centre, and will allow engineers to understand how a hydrogen powertrain can be optimised to deliver the performance and capability expected by its customers: from range to refuelling, and towing to off-road ability.

The zero tailpipe emission prototype New Defender FCEV will begin testing towards the end of 2021 in the UK to verify key attributes such as off-road capability and fuel consumption.

To deliver Project Zeus, Jaguar Land Rover has teamed up with world class R&D partners, including Delta Motorsport, AVL, Marelli Automotive Systems and the UK Battery Industrialisation Centre (UKBIC) to research, develop and create the prototype FCEV.
