Fuel Cell

To operate, a fuel cell, combined with an electric motor, needs hydrogen and oxygen. The oxygen is drawn off from the air, while the hydrogen is stored on board. The combination of the two elements produces an electrochemical reaction causing the displacement of electrons and protons, which simultaneously produces heat, water, and especially electricity.

Peugeot, committed to development of the fuel cell technology, has presented several demonstrators illustrating the breakthroughs achieved in this area. The most recent, in [year],  called 207 Epure, a symbol of pleasure and environmental conservation, played a twofold role: that of an extremely attractive concept car giving a "foretaste" of the 207 CC and that of an innovative demonstrator fitted with the latest fuel cell version GENEPAC, developed in partnership with the "Comité à l’Energie Atomique".

Following the demonstrators Taxi PAC (2000), H2O (2002) and Quark (2004), 207 Epure marked a new stage with regard to fuel cell power, efficiency and compactness, with a touring range of about 350 km and a peak speed of 130 kph.
