A hybrid fuel cell vehicle from German manufacturer Volkswagen has gone on show at an exhibition in San Francisco.

The Volkswagen Touran Hymotion uses an 80 kW high-torque electric motor that draws its power from a fuel cell and has no emissions.

The company already has petrol and diesel hybrid versions on sale, which it says are the most successful vans by far available in Germany.

160km autonomy is not that much. I believe they will have to improve that figure (at least 300km) and reduce the car's price so that people will start to massively buy those cars.
