The Hyundai Blue2 is a FCEV (Fuel Cell Electric Vehicle) which debuted at the 2011 Seoul Motor Show. The Blue2 gets its name from a combination of Hyundai's environmentally-friendly division 'Blue Drive', and the number '2' - as in H2, the symbol for hydrogen. The Hyundai Blue2 concept is powered by a fuel cell electric system that delivers 120 hp (90kW) of power, and fuel economy of 82 mpg (34.9km/l). The impressive fuel economy is aided by low-resistance tires and alloy wheels which are optimized to improve aerodynamic performance.

Overview: The Equus is a compelling ride for those who don’t want to flaunt their wealth—but its exterior design may be too subtle for some. A 429-hp 5.0-liter V-8, eight-speed automatic, and air-ride suspension deliver a refined, quiet ride. Blind-spot warning, rear cross-traffic alert, and telematics are standard; the top Ultimate model gains cooled rear seats, a multiview camera, and head-up display. It’s a strong value; the only thing missing is a luxury-car badge with real street cred
