Hyundai Fuel Cell EV

Hyundai Motors is going from hybrid to all electric, and using fuel cells to do it. The auto maker unveiled its Blue2 fuel-cell electric sedan at the 2011 Seoul Motor Show. This further established the brand as a serious rival to major green-tech leaders Honda and Toyota.

According to Gas2 (and the Hyundai press release): The Blue2 concept itself is powered by a 120 hp electric motor that Hyundai promises will deliver fuel efficiency equivalent to more than 80 mpg. Seriously rakish sheet metal drapes the FCEV powertrain, while the car’s interior features a new Transparent Organic Light Emitting Diode (TOLED) monitor in place of a traditional instrument cluster. The canopy and moonroof are made from lightweight, tempered “Gorilla Glass”, and the infotainment system is manipulated through something called a “Motion Sensor Moustick”, which responds to the driver’s touch and hand movements.
