2008 LA Auto Show: Kia Borrego FCEV (Fuel Cell Electric Vehicle)
Wednesday, November 26th, 2008
The global unveiling of the all-fresh Kia Borrego FCEV at the LA International Auto Show today has brought Kia Motors Corporation’s (KMC) Fuel Cell Electric Vehicle (FCEV) program into a great technological leap forward.
Many improvements, such as a higher yield 154 horsepower fuel cell and a new 450-volts Supercapacitor provide the Borrego FCEV even greater performance, a considerably extended driving range and cold-weather starting ability to function in freezing weather conditions.
Offered with either a two and three tank system that comes with a 70MPa pressure, the Borrego FCEV’s engine is located under the center floor and brags an extra 47 horsepower of energy to generate a top yield of 154 horsepower (a 44-percent increase in contrast to the preceding generation) and run the vehicle to a ceiling speed of 100 miles per hour (mph) at the same time boasting a class-leading system efficiency of 62 percent.
