WAE Technologies Provides Manufacturers With A Hydrogen Platform That Promises High Performance
by AutoExpert | 7 September, 2023
WAE Technologies has just unveiled their latest innovation, the EVRh platform. This ground-breaking platform features a hydrogen fuel-cell system. Its extraordinary ability to accelerate from 0 to 62 mph in less than 2.5 seconds distinguishes it.
It builds on the EVR unit's core but replaces the large 85 kWh battery with a cutting-edge H2 fuel cell system. The power is stored in a liquid-cooled FCEV battery pack and then sent to a motor with the potential to deliver 738 horsepower.
What's remarkable is how they've smartly placed the fuel tank and battery system right in the center of the vehicle, improving weight distribution and offering an astonishing projected range of 372 miles. Furthermore, the platform has the ability to enable automakers to develop automobiles weighing less than 4,189 lbs!
Another plus is the platform's versatility, as it allows both all-wheel drive (AWD) and rear-wheel drive (RWD). Furthermore, its central tub design accommodates a wide range of vehicle types, including hardtop and targa variants.
This platform is intended for both track-only and road-legal vehicles, making it an appealing solution for automakers looking for a quick path to production with little development time. Because of its lightweight tub structure, the ability to use numerous motors, and enhanced aerodynamics, cars based on the EVRh platform might complete a lap of the Nürburgring in as little as 7 minutes and 20 seconds!
Furthermore, the platform's similarity to the EVR offers up the exciting prospect of third-party companies simultaneously researching all-electric and hydrogen cars. At the end of the day, WAE Technologies' EVRh platform is building up to be a game-changer in the automobile industry, combining performance, adaptability, and sustainability into one thrilling package.
