Suzuki Motor Corp exhibited the SX4-FCV, a fuel cell vehicle based on its compact car "SX4," to the press and government officials at the Hokkaido Toyako Summit. Suzuki developed the Wagon R-FCV and the MR Wagon-FCV based on a compact car in 2003. In 2005, In 2005, the Suzuki Ionis hydrogen fuel cell vehicle was introduced at the Tokyo Motor Show. Then in October 2007, the Suzuki Crosscage hydrogen fuel cell motorcycle was unveiled, also in Tokyo and the announcement was made that British company Intelligent Energy was supplying the FC. hydrogen fuel cell motorcycle was unveiled, also in Tokyo and the announcement was made that British company Intelligent Energy was supplying the FC. But, this time, the company developed another fuel cell vehicle based on its compact car "SX4," which is equipped with either a 1.5- or 2.0-liter engine. The output of the fuel cell is increased from the Wagon R-FCV's 50 to 80kW, and the motor output is also boosted from 38 to 68kW. Two 70MPa high-pressure hydrogen tanks are sandwiched between the rear wheels. Due to the small tanks, the SX4-FCV has a travel distance of only 250km. The distance is rather short compared with that of other recent fuel cell vehicles. The SX4-FCV mounts the fuel cell and the motor in a small engine room at the front, which is unusual for a compact car. The vehicle also mounts a high-capacity capacitor for regenerated energy in the trunk. The capacitor takes up almost half the capacity of the trunk. Hydrogen storage tanks is developed by scientists of Suzuki. excellence design of Suzuki SX4-FCV from its compact is more incidental . There are also capacitors able to get back the energy lost while braking the car. Then, Energy is used to help fuel cells to accelerate when the car accelerated "rapidly". As the standard version, SX4-FCV can still be filled by five passengers. One tank filled of hydrogen can be used for a distance of 250 km. The top speed can be reached at 150 km / hour. After the exhibition show, Suzuki SX4-FCV will be on public streets in Japan. For the development of hydrogen fuel, Suzuki cooperates with General Motors since 2001. Spokesman tell that Suzuki try to make Suzuki SX4-FCV production as soon as possible. The Suzuki SX4 series production is in cooperation between Suzuki and Fiat in 2006. This type of car designed by Giorgetto Giugiaro of Italdesign studio. Suzuki SX4 was produced to replace the series of Aerio (for some place called Liana). In fact, the Suzuki SX4 is only in the series selling in Europe. But, in the development, the car is also sold in Japan, India, South America, Australia, South Africa, and North America. First car is introduced in the Geneva Motor Show 2008. For the SX4 series hatchback has produced at the first time since 2007. These series are introduced early in the New York Auto Show. This vehicle has been released in Japan, India, and several East European countries.
