Audi AG has launched its h-tron Quattro concept vehicle at the 2016 Detroit motor show. The model is based on the modified MLB platform that is set to underpin the next-generation Q5 with the hydrogen fuel cells stored in three carbon fibre-reinforced plastic tanks, and the large resting in the central transmission tunnel. The stack includes 330 individual cells and it develops a nominal 110kW (148bhp) of electricity.

The model uses two electric motors, one mounted on each axle, to propel the car. The front-mounted motor is rated at 121bhp while the rear motor develops 188bhp, with each motor using a single-speed planetary gear-set as a differential. It features a five-link suspension front and rear with air springs and offers adaptive damping and self-levelling function.
