Michelin’s Challenge Bibendum is an event that showcases sustainable mobility technologies, and this year’s edition took place at the old Berlin Tempelhof airport on May 18 to 22. Audi brought along their Q5 Hybrid Fuel Cell concept to the event, previewing the future in Audi Fuel Cell cars.
With the Q5 Hydrogen Fuel Cell car, Audi is exploring the potential of combining hydrogen fuel cell technology with a hybrid drivetrain for greater range and efficiency over a standard hydrogen-power car, which generates electricity to drive the vehicle.
The Q5 Hydrogen Fuel Cell features two high-pressure cylinders where the hydrogen is stored at a pressure rate of 700 bar (10,153 psi). The fuel cell is made of a polymer electrolyte membrane (PEM) and has an output of 131bhp. A 1.3 kWh lithium-ion battery is also able to store energy while two electric motors mounted close to the wheels, with a combined output of 121bhp and up to 420Nm of torque, drive the Q5.
