Jaguar Land Rover prepares a fuel cell car
Currently, electric cars are the leader in green cars in key markets. However, global automakers are active in another, quite promising area. mainly, they’re growing hydrogen fuel cell automobiles. Among these manufacturers was the company Jaguar Land Rover, which began to create a crossover on fuel cells.
To do this, the British manufacturer has teamed up with engineering companies such as UKBIC, Delta Motorsport, and Marelli Automotive Systems. The project was named Project Zeus and Jaguar Land Rover invested £ 73.5 million in it. Within the framework of this project, partner companies intend to analyze existing hydrogen technologies and create environmentally pleasant automobile of the British manufacturer.
Indeed, in essence, the company took only the first steps, while it is not even known under which brand the future car will be released – Jaguar or Land Rover. It is only known that the crossover with zero emissions will receive all the attributes inherent in the cars of the brand, including a large power reserve, quick refueling, serious off-road performance, and the ability to work at low temperatures.
Note that JLR is not the first premium car manufacturer to strive to incorporate hydrogen fuel cell technology into its cars. Previously, auto giants such as Audi, BMW, and Mercedes have explored these possibilities. However, so far the work has not moved beyond prototypes
