Kia Borrego FCEV Concept

One of the advantages to making a fuel cell vehicle out of something big, as Kia did with the Borrego FCEV Concept, is that you can cram a lot of hydrogen tanks inside. At the 2008 L.A. Auto Show Kia revealed that the Borrego FCEV can hold three tanks, giving it a range of 426 miles, which is truly real-world range. It’s also very efficient, getting 54 mpg. The Borrego FCEV is part of the combined test fleet of Kia and Hyundai, which are both working on fuel cell vehicles for the future. How far away is that future? Maybe not quite as far as it once was.
