Their electric current is supplied to a 55 kW, three-phase, AC synchronous electric motor, which drives the front wheels through fixed ratio gears. The motor's maximum torque of 251 Nm is available all the time and accelerates the fuel-cell version of this compact van, which weighs 1575 kg (compared with the standard Zafira's 1425 kg) from a standstill to 100 km/h in 16 seconds. www.autointell.com /nao_companies/general_motors/opel/opel-zafira/opel-fuel-cell-zafira-00.htm   (738 words)

At Paris Motor Show, Opel presents driveable fuel-cell powered Zafira  29-9-98 The basic principle of the fuel-cell used in the Zafira is an electro-chemical process in which hydrogen reacts with oxygen to generate electricity, with water as a by-product. A small amount of carbon monoxide (CO) generated during this process is oxidized by a catalytic converter to carbon dioxide (CO2) before the gas is fed to the fuel-cell stack. Generates electricity from a hydrogen-rich "reformate" mixture and filtered compressed air at a process temperature of 80 to 90 degrees Celsius. www.fastlane.com.au /News/Opel_Zafira.htm   (954 words)

Zafira Hydrogen 1 | First Drives | Car Reviews | Auto Express   (Site not responding.

TMF: Preliminary Results 2003 / NXT plc (NTX) This week at the International Motor Show in Frankfurt NXT licensee Johnson Controls (JCI) has been demonstrating a General Motors Zafira automobile with NXT direct drive loudspeakers powered by special exciters produced under licence by Philips Sound Solutions. This is a significant development by one of the automotive industry's foremost Tier 1 suppliers and we are encouraged by its stated intention to make the technology available from model year 2007, calendar year 2006. Our experience suggests that whilst they provide excellent audio they are, nonetheless, a difficult concept to market: cardboard has low value associations; the market for a secondary pair of loudspeakers is small and undeveloped; and, the retail floor space required was judged to be too much to provide a valuable return. boards.fool.co.uk /Message.asp?mid=8088246   (4265 words)
