Incredible: Slovaks have developed hydrogen hypersport! It will be presented in Dubai – PRAVDA.sk

The decoration of the Slovak exposition at the EXPO world exhibition in Dubai will undoubtedly be the concept of hydrogen-powered hypersport. However, it will not be stored in conventional tanks. Is this really a revolution?

Aufeer Desig – Slovak hypersport MH2 The design of hydrogen hypersports was taken care of by the Aufeer Design studio, which cooperates with companies such as Ferrari and Škoda.

The Matador Group, a supplier of components for the automotive industry, the design studio Aufeer Design from Mladá Boleslav and the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering – Technical University in Košice (TUKE), worked on an unusual project. The result is the hydrogen hypersport MH2. It is powered by four electric motors powered by fuel cells. However, they will not pump hydrogen from conventional high-pressure tanks, but from a revolutionary tandem hydrogen compressor with a metal hydride alloy and a heat pump. It is behind this technology that the University of Košice stands.

Aufeer Desig – Slovak hypersport MH2 Hypersport MH2 uses a special form of hydrogen storage in the intermetallic structure of metals. The design was taken care of by the former designer of the Turin studio Pininfarina.

And MH2 will not be ashamed of its design either. He was born in the workshops of the Aufeer Design studio, which belongs to the Matador Group, which works for companies such as Škoda, Bentley, Ferrari, Audi, VW, Airbus, Ford and Zetor. The director of his innovation center is the Slovak designer Braňo Maukš, a long-term designer of the Italian studio Pininfarina. For example, he is behind the design of the electrical concept Pininfarina Battista with an output of 1,471 kW or more custom Ferraris. The design of the upcoming hydrogen hypersport is supposed to be an evolution of the AF1 and AF2 studies, which were created in 2012.

However, until they were prepared for conventional petrol and electric propulsion, MH2 will use the mentioned hydrogen. The technology of the metal hydride compressor with a heat pump enables a special form of hydrogen storage in the intermetallic structure of metals. Unfortunately, no further details are known. We will have to wait until October 1, when the EXPO world exhibition starts. The concept will be presented in the Mobility section. The vehicle was handed over to the Ministry of Economy on September 14 and is already on its way to Dubai these days.
