2,383km travelled by Hyundai ix35 Fuel Cell in 24 hours

Two hydrogen pioneers have taken real world zero-emission motoring to a new level by driving a Hyundai ix35 Fuel Cell 2,383km in 24 hours. Arnt-Goran Hartvig (Sports Scientist) and Marius Bornstein (Master of Physics) travelled around the clock on public roads in Germany, emitting nothing but water vapour from the groundbreaking fuel cell electric vehicle. 

To achieve this impressive distance, the two Norwegians covered the route between Vatenfall's hydrogen station in HafenCity, Hamburg and a Shell hydrogen station in Sachsendamm, Berlin as many times as possible in 24 hours. Refuelling the car takes as little as three minutes, enabling the drivers to maximise the distance covered. Their route included city driving as well as high-speed roads, demonstrating the suitability of the Hyundai ix35 Fuel Cell for everyday use in all situations.
