Renault Scenic ZEV H2
Based on the non-fuel cell Grand Scenic, Renault is rolling out
its ZEV H2 vehicle. The Renault Scenic ZEV H2 is tapping into its
alliance with Nissan, (which is currently showing off the X-Trail
FCV) to use the Nissan-designed fuel cell in the Renault Scenic
ZEV H2.

The architecture of the Renault Scenic ZEV is flexible as the fuel
cell components may be placed underneath the floorboard creating
maximum room for passengers. Like the X-Trail, the Renault Scenic
ZEV H2 also uses lithium-ion battery power to provide this hybrid
vehicle with extra oomph.
The five-passenger Renault Scenic ZEV H2 has a range of 200 - 330
miles depending upon whether one fills the high pressure tanks with
5,000 or 10,000 psi hydrogen gas. The top speed of the Renault Scenic
ZEV H2 is around 100 mph.
The ZEV H2 will also be a part of the Renault Environment Business
Unit's end-of-life vehicle (ELV) recycling program, which is aimed
towards environmental protection. The Renault Scenic ZEV H2 and
the Nissan X-Trail FCV
will be part of a joint European tour in the 2008 summer.
