Fuel Cell Drive

In a fuel cell drive the energy is provided from a fuel cell. The hydrogen is stored in tanks with high pressure, whereby the vehicles get a range of 300 km and more. During braking the kinetic energy of the vehicle is fed via the drive motors and the intermediate circuit to the brake resistor. The fuel cell drive is emission free and also very comfortable due to the extremely low noise operation.
