Overview

The NamX HUV was presented for the first time on May 11, 2022 in Italy and in October at the 2022 Paris Motor Show. It is the result of four years of development and collaboration between the Italian coachbuilder Pininfarina and NamX (which stands for New Automotive and Mobility Exploration).[2]

Features

The HUV has the particularity of offering interchangeable hydrogen tanks. Six interchangeable hydrogen tanks are added to the main tank and provide a range of 800 kilometres (500 mi). This system makes it easy to exchange the six removable tanks in a station without refueling the main tank, service stations for hydrogen being rare.[3]

Powertrain

The SUV has a fuel cell that generates electricity from hydrogen powering the electric motor(s). In the rear-wheel drive version, it has a 300 hp engine while the all-wheel drive version has two engines for a combined power of 550 hp.[4]
