GM has just revealed the Cadillac Provoq, a 4 door crossover concept, which uses the (Volt) E-Flex platform with a hydrogen fuel-cell range extender.
It runs on GM’s svelte 5th-generation hydrogen fuel cell stack married to an E-Flex propulsion system, which is the all-electric powertrain powered by a large rechargeable lithium-ion battery pack. It is a zero-emissions vehicle.
The vehicle is designed to go 20 miles on a charge with an additional 280 miles of range provided by two hydrogen tanks each capable of holding 3 kg of the compressed gas. No gasoline here.
This one is all-wheel drive, with a pair of 40 kW rear wheel hub motors and a 70 kW front coaxial motor, and goes 0 to 60 in 8.5 secs.
Per GM VP of R&D Larry Burns, “This is proof that alternate fuels and advanced technologies create even greater opportunities to satisfy the luxury buyer.â€
Additional cool stuff included: solar panel in the roof for small electricals, front grille that closes at highway speeds to reduce drag, stylish double front bumper charging ports, uncompromising interior, and sleek unmistakable Cadillac exterior.
