Hopium provides more details of its hydrogen saloon

By: Driving.com

The French firm Hopium is already taking reservations for its Alpha 0, a hydrogen-based vehicle with a futuristic design and great autonomy.

The Alpha 0 is the name taken by the prototype of Hopium , although when its production phase comes into effect it will be renamed Machina .

The particularity of this luxurious saloon is that it will be powered by hydrogen thanks to its two tanks located in the central area and at the back.

This element, together with the fuel cell that powers the electric motors, allows you to go through some 1000 kilometers without refueling.

The Hopium Alpha 0 could generate about 500 horsepower (370 kw) and its maximum speed is stipulated at about 230 km / h.

Also from the signature, they point to the speed charging their tanks, which compared to electric cars is much faster since it would not take more than 3 minutes.

On the other hand, although its body is coated in black matte, the Alpha 0 features a modern headlamp with sleek boomerang-style headlights with a continuous line of LEDs. towards the bumper.

The sides are well defined and are marked towards the rear with widened wheel arches. The curvature of the extensive panoramic roof culminates in the rear with some headlights that repeat the recipe.

In this way the Hopium Alpha 0 (or rather the Machina ) has started taking reservations for the first 1. 000 copies.

Apparently its launch will take place in a few years.
