In actuality, the VW boardroom appears to be aware of the situation: according to BusinessInsider, the corporation has filed a patent application for a particular fuel cell with the Saxon business Kraftwerk Tubes GmbH. Volkswagen, without a doubt, is leaving this option open and pursuing hydrogen technology in defiance of the public “fog candles.”
Volkswagen isn’t the only vehicle firm to experiment with hydrogen as a fuel: Mercedes, BMW, and Asian automakers Toyota and Hyundai have all done so and created models that are ready for mass production. However, these automobiles have been far more expensive to purchase in the past. There is a significant difference in the technology presently being used by VW.
“The fundamental difference between our fuel cells and those from Hyundai and Toyota is that we use a ceramic membrane instead of the standard plastic membrane,” says power plant head Sascha Kühn. We are the only company that makes this technology’s ceramic membrane in such a way that the fuel cell can start up rapidly.” This, according to the managing director, is a significant difference. The benefits of this fuel cell over the “polymer” fuel cell are, on the one hand, cheaper production costs and the absence of platinum.
“It always works like this: we supply the fundamental technology, then develop it further along with the manufacturer’s experts and design the vehicle,” says founder Kühn of the cooperation with the automobile giant.
Volkswagen is actively pursuing fuel cell technology but is trying to downplay it to Joe Public!
