In the context of the ongoing energy transition, VISION believes that intelligent alternatives to fossil fuels and traditional electric power are already within our reach. This is why we have chosen to equip the VISION 1789 with a multi-fuel powertrain capable of running on both biomethane and hydrogen, two complementary, sustainable energy sources.
A Cutting-Edge, Sustainable Engine
This advanced engine, originally developed for endurance racing, stands out for its exceptionally low carbon footprint in its segment. By utilizing biomethane, derived from the decomposition of organic matter, it transforms agricultural, household, and industrial waste into valuable energy. This approach not only reduces the environmental impact of waste but also helps mitigate the harmful effects of methane emissions on global warming.
Benefits of Biomethane:
- Renewable Energy Source Biomethane is a renewable gas, derived from waste products, making it a sustainable fuel choice.
- Carbon Impact Reduction By using waste to generate energy, this technology significantly reduces the carbon footprint compared to traditional fossil fuels.
Hydrogen: The Next Step in Fuel Evolution
While hydrogen technology and infrastructure are still in their early stages, VISION is already ahead of the curve. Our strategy is to first perfect the biomethane version of the engine as a technological demonstrator, and then transition to hydrogen in a second phase.
The combustion process for both biomethane and hydrogen is remarkably similar, allowing for a seamless transition between the two fuels. This adaptability positions VISION 1789 as a future-proof solution for an evolving energy landscape.
Multi-Fuel Flexibility: Fueling Anywhere
One of the key advantages of the multi-fuel system is that the VISION 1789 does not rely exclusively on hydrogen or biomethane refueling stations. Instead, it can be powered at any natural gas station worldwide, offering unparalleled convenience and accessibility for drivers seeking a sustainable fuel option.
With this innovative approach, VISION is not only pushing the boundaries of automotive technology but also contributing to the global effort to reduce emissions and accelerate the transition to a cleaner, more sustainable energy future.
