Action shot taken during the driver-side small overlap frontal crash test.
The dummy’s position in relation to the door frame, steering wheel, and instrument panel after the crash test indicates that the driver’s survival space was maintained reasonably well.
The frontal and side curtain airbags worked well together to keep the head from coming close to any stiff structure or outside objects that could cause injury.
Intrusion of the door hinge pillar and instrument panel contributed to a moderate risk of injury to the left lower leg.

Hyundai Nexo — расслабленная поездка
Всего за несколько километров езды на Nexo становится ясно одно — этот автомобиль путешествует крайне расслабленно. Это потому, что машина очень хорошо звукозолирована. Нет шума или ветра вокруг кузова. Тщательно отрегулированная подвеска также способствует комфортному путешествию, которая не только работает тихо, но и хорошо подавляет любые неровности поверхности. О том, что дизайн транспортного средства был больше ориентирован на комфорт, чем на вождение, свидетельствует не только характеристики шасси, но и то, как работает система рулевого управления — его работа могла бы быть несколько более точной. Кроме того, вес автомобиля можно почувствовать при тестировании динамических поворотов.
Для привода Nexo предусмотрен электродвигатель мощностью 163 л.с. Благодаря этому автомобиль достигает сотни всего за 9,5 секунды. Также нет никаких оговорок в отношении эластичности, благодаря которой нет проблем с ускорением при обгоне.
Hyundai Nexo — дальние расстояния
Большинство водителей беспокоятся о дальнем путешествии на электромобиле. Это беспокойство связано с несколькими факторами. Во-первых, дальность, указанная в начале маршрута на более высоких скоростях, уменьшается непропорционально пройденным километрам. Второе — это время зарядки — у многих людей это занимает слишком много времени. Кроме того, вы всегда беспокоитесь о том, будет ли доступно зарядное устройство в указанном месте. Если нет, время остановки может быть значительно больше. Для водорода Nexo это не проблема. Во-первых, его теоретически дальность пробега на одной заправке составляет 666 км (согласно WLTP), а во-вторых, когда мы добираемся до станции, заправка занимает около 5 минут. Конечно, это с оговоркой, что поблизости от вас есть такие заправочные станции. Если говорить о Германии, то там к концу 2020 года должно быть построено 100 станций на которых можно будет заправлять автомобиль водородом.
Первоначально производители автомобилей, которые пытались использовать подачу водорода, испытывали заправку жидким водородом. Жидкий газ нужно было подавать в резервуары при температуре ниже — 250 градусов — это было очень дорого и опасно. Тем временем было решено хранить водород в газообразной форме. В результате Nexo может хранить 6,33 кг водорода в трех резервуарах. Он вдавливается в них под давлением 700 бар. Чтобы выдержать это давление, резервуары должны иметь стенки толщиной 4,5 см!
Топливный насос на станции работает по тому же принципу, что и насос для автомобилей, работающих на природном газе. После подсоединения шланга к разъему в автомобиле и его блокировки давление уравнивается и начинается дозаправка. Кнопка «Пуск» информирует нас о завершении заправки. Все это очень легко, и только шипение и звук газа, подаваемого в резервуары, требуют привыкания.

Бортовая электростанция
Тест драйв Hyundai Nexo
Традиционный электрический автомобиль получает энергию, необходимую для вождения от аккумуляторов, установленных на борту. Между тем, водородный автомобиль сам производит энергию, необходимую ему для путешествий. Итак, вы путешествуете на частной электростанции. Водород, накопленный в трех резервуарах высокого давления, подается в топливные элементы.
Система состоит из двух разделенных областей. В анодной части водород просто делится на ионы водорода и электроны. Ионы протекают через сепаратор в катод, где они соединяются с кислородом, образуя воду. Электроны также хотят перейти на другую сторону катода, но они не могут пройти через сепаратор. Поэтому они должны перемещаться вокруг соответствующего провода к электродвигателю. С другой стороны электрическая система закрыта.
Во время динамического ускорения требуется большая доза тока. Его излишки, полученные рекуперацией во время торможения, накапливаются в батарее, расположенной на борту автомобиля.
