mh2 matador - first slovak hydrogen car

Mh2 matador

The MH2 Matador is the first Slovak hydrogen car, por ahora es un prototipo. It is an example of a collaboration between the academic and private home sectors, and it was created jointly by TUKE - Košice mechanical engineering University and the MatadorGroup.

The hydrogen concept for the MH2 car is a vehicle for progress, new horizons and shows the innovative potential of Slovakia. 

The Matador Group has been active in the automotive sector for over a century and has transformed its vast experience into hydrogen-powered supercars. The task of the concept car is the necessary possibility of unique technologies of the future, which will be put into practice in the coming years. 

The CEO of the Matador Group, Mr. Štefan Rosina said: "At the Matador Group we have long believed in hydrogen propulsion and I am personally a big fan of hydrogen as I consider it one of the most successful alternatives among many means of transport propulsion systems. I believe hydrogen will also play an important role in other areas, such as energy technology.”
​

The MH2 Matador is powered by hydrogen and a unique technology developed by Slovak University TUKE. The main benefit of using hydrogen in transport is zero emissions during combustion in fuel cells. The MH2 Matador contains several low-pressure metal hydride tanks. This hydrogen storage concept uses an intelligent temperature management software. The main advantages of this solution compared to high-pressure tanks are a high level of storage security and a relatively low storage energy requirement.  

The MH2 Sport Concept symbolizes a unique functional design that achieves a drag coefficient below 0.2, extending the range of the car itself. MH2 Matador sprints from 0 to 100 km/h in 4 seconds and develops 600hp. The hydrogen concept has a top speed of around 250 km/h.
