Suzuki seeks to impress at the Tokyo Motor Show with its display of a hydrogen fuel-cell powered version of its SX4. General Motors has supplied the 80kW hydrogen fuel cell used by the SX4-FCV. It is mated to a Suzuki-designed hydrogen storage tank that compresses the gas at 10,000psi. Instead of a battery pack, the SX4-FCV has a lightweight capacitor that evens out the flow of electrons to the 68kW electric motor. This also helps with regenerative braking. Suzuki has yet to reveal production details. Road testing of the SX4-FCV in Japan is underway. Suzuki also showcases a hydrogen-powered Burgman scooter and a similarly powered mobility scooter at the show.
