Hysun3000 is a hydrogen - light vehicle . It is the first TÜV- approved hydrogen vehicle in the class up to 184 kg. Approval took place on August 31, 2004. The project was developed by students from the Esslingen University of Applied Sciences and was under the patronage of the Federal Environment Ministry.
It is powered by a fuel cell from Ballard Power Systems and has an additional option for storing energy in a connected battery or so-called Super Caps ( double-layer capacitors ). In order to deal efficiently with the energy available, it is possible, for example, to convert the kinetic energy of a downhill run and store it in the above media and use it again at a later point in time.
Hysun has set two world records. It is the fuel cell vehicle with the longest range per tank (1,600 km) and it is the most energy efficient road legal vehicle. On its maiden voyage from Berlin to Barcelona, Hysun3000 covered a distance of 3000 km with only 3.3 kg of hydrogen with a detour to Holland. This corresponds to a petrol consumption of 0.4 l per 100 km.
Since 2008, Hysun3000 has been one of the most important exhibits of the exhibition Arte Sustenibile UNO , which the concept artist Samuel J. Fleiner put together and which is under the patronage of the German UNESCO Commission.
