Page 1 of 1 Hyundai Motor Company, South Korea's largest automaker, showcased its latest 'New Thinking' on products, technologies and services to the world at the 2011 Seoul Motor Show, which opened under the theme of 'Evolution, Green Revolution on Wheels.' Hyundai unveiled its latest eco-friendly creation, the Blue2 (read as "Blue squared") concept vehicle.
Hyundai Motor staged a world premiere of its new concept car, Blue2 (codenamed HND-6), a mid-size FCEV which shows a blueprint for future sedans. The name 'Blue2' is a combination of Hyundai's sub eco-brand 'Blue Drive' and the number '2' from H2, the symbol for hydrogen gas.
Aiming at gaining early leadership of the FCEV market, Blue2 is powered by a fuel cell electric system delivering power of 90kW (1.65kW/L) and fuel economy of 34.9km/L. The Blue2 is materialised in a sporty and luxurious style, a combination of futuristic, flowing designs and eco-friendly features. The Blue2 is equipped with low-resistance tyres and alloy wheels which are designed to improve aerodynamic performance, while the car's interior design encompasses a futuristic look by using eco-friendly new materials.
Hyundai's concept keywords for the exterior design are 'Intersected Flow,' featuring innovative and dynamic designs. The vehicle's condition is visible via unique and futuristic images on the exterior of the car through outside LED screen panels, which are located on both the front and rear of the car. Blue2 also features a welcome system which recognises the driver, while an automatic opening door system further enhances driver convenience. Conventional side mirrors are replaced by side cameras and a roof camera, offering a state-of-the-art driving environment. The exterior designs flow inside the vehicle, with asymmetric dashboards and doors to optimise driver's convenience and add emotional value. Wider seats enable passengers to get in and out of the vehicle with ease.
Hyundai combined the cluster and centre fascia, applying an advanced Transparent Organic Light Emitting Diode (TOLED) monitor and ultra-light tempered glass, called Gorilla Glass, providing more accurate and vivid graphic information. The infotainment system is operated by a Motion Sensor Moustick, a haptic wheel and motion sensor that respond to the driver's touch and hand movements, respectively, giving drivers a new experience.
Blue2 aims to satisfy all the senses of future drivers, including the air they breathe: a cluster ioniser freshens the air inside the vehicle, while antibacterial genuine leather with leaf-shaped patterns, called 'eco-graphic perforation,' enhances an eco-friendly look and feel. Page 1 of 1
