	Opel AG: Opel Fuel Cell Zafira 2000
		Opel exhibit a fuel cell concept car based on the Zafira for the first time to the general public at the Geneva International Motor Show 2000.
		Opel showed its first experimental vehicle powered by this extremely environmentally compatible technology at the Geneva Automobile Show in 1997, and a second vehicle - based on the current Zafira - at the Paris Motor Show in 1998.
		The Zafira stack has a maximum output of 80 kW, generated by the 195 single cells in the block at a process temperature of about 80°C. Their electric current is supplied to a 55 kW, three-phase, AC synchronous electric motor, which drives the front wheels through fixed ratio gears.

	Opel Zafira 1.6 16v
		Opel refer to it as a van however it is stylish and contained, making it as attractive proposition to female drivers who would normally be zooming the kids all over the place.
		The profile of the Zafira with its distinctive wheel arches is appealing and the slightly sloping roof contributes to the car's low drag coefficient.
		Opel have used high strength steel in high strain areas to contain the structure size and weight of the Zafira whilst still offering maximum passenger protection and it also already complies with the new EU Pedestrian Protection Guidelines.

		Pedestrian protection - The second-generation Zafira is leading the way in pedestrian protection: the new Zafira is the first Opel model to comply with EU guidelines on pedestrian safety for new models to be introduced from October 1, 2005, making it one of the first cars to meet these requirements.

	irishcar.com - Opel Zafira
		Opel’s entry into the smaller-sized area is selling as many copies here as it can get, aided by the arrival of the entry-level 1.6-litre engine.
		The Astra-based Zafira (name is loosely based on the ‘sapphire’ jewel) has seven seats, and is so clever in how it arranges them that Opel has patented part of the system.
		The dashboard/instruments cluster layout is fresh for Zafira, not just a mildly reworked Astra (indeed, I’d like to see this in the Astra, which has a rather too massive feel to it for some tastes).
