[size=150]Saminda HCC ‘‘Hydrogen Confident Car’’ unveiled with 600km (310 miles) per charge[/size]

(Concept Version)

**Saminda takes a real leap forward towards a “hydrogen society” with the unveiling of their hydrogen-powered fuel cell vehicle, called the HCC. The HCC can travel 600km (310 miles) on a single charge , pricing is yet to be announced.

Saminda’s President and CEO Yuko Nagoya said, “Fuel cell is the future , few years ago , people doesn’t trust Fuel Cell cars because of the lack of reliability , you can’t even start a Fuel Cell car during cold weather , but now , Fuel cell is different in terms of technology , Fuel cell is the new gasoline engine now. ”**

That rear is remarkable. The front is not as striking IMO

I’m actually very interested in how you did that taillight, there’s no seam in the middle

Hey squidhead , actually i just use paint and crop and paste it , i don’t know if it’s cheating but yeah .

strop · 13 February 2016 09:04

I wouldn’t call it cheating, it’s no different in principle from any other of the manipulation techniques. But many of us I feel are just itching to have single piece headlights though they are technically impossible (to be designated as taillights at least).

squidhead · 13 February 2016 09:15

I suspected that was the case Also nah, it’s not cheating. There’s a lot of design features unavailable to us in automation so we make due.

Still waiting for historical models…

Starfish94 · 15 February 2016 09:48

Definitely will post historical models (after finishing the 2014 cars)

Historical models will have more story behind it , will post historic about Auxuras too but not Neomo , Neomo is founded in 2012.

In Japan , the CR1 is powered by a 1.3-liter Atkinson cycle inline-4 engine with electric motor producing a total of 106bhp and 164nm of torque and a fuel economy of 23km/l in the Japanese JC08 cycle , while the Global market is equipped with a 1.8-liter DOHC i-VIC inline-4 or a 1.5-liter turbocharged i-VIC ProAIR turbocharged inline-4 engine, and it is available in front-wheel and all-wheel drive versions.

With the success of the CR3 in the mid nineties, it is expected that Saminda would again deliver something similar for the masses. Except this time, it comes in a smaller package. This brings our focus to this all new redesign 2014 CR1, Saminda’s latest SUV based off the C1, and one of the hottest contenders in its segment.

Saminda is clearly ahead of the rat race for decently priced and reasonably sized urban cars and the CR1 further proves that point. If you’re looking for a car thats pleasantly designed, practical and economical with a cabin comfortable enough for five adults and some golf bags, look no further - the CR1 is your answer.**[/quote]

The CR6 is one of the only North American built Samindas (alongside the C7 , CR5 and CR7)

The car comes with either a 2.4-liter inline-4 engine that produces 170bhp and 225nm of torque or a 3.5-liter V6 engine that makes 270bhp and 330nm of torque , the 4 cylinder version only comes with FWD while the V6 comes with AWD.

Spacious, efficient and priced right, the CR6 will satisfy the needs of just about every family, and look good doing it. If we had to rationally figure out what the vehicle of tomorrow would be like, in terms of size, power, fuel economy and everyday versatility, the CR6 could very well be what we’d come up with, and that’s what Saminda is good at.**[/quote]

[quote]**The Ponqi is a hybrid electric vehicle manufactured and sold by Saminda , the Ponqi was introduced in Japan first and later in United States and Worldwide , For a decade and a half, the Saminda Ponqi has been the leader of hybrid cars. And it wasn’t until recently when Saminda decided to upgrade their Electric Motor with SRU (Saminda Regenerate Unit) and make it more fuel efficient then ever.

Saminda said the slim wheel on the Ponqi is for aerodynamic purpose and it give the car 10% more fuel efficient.

It builds upon the strengths of its predecessors. It’s more advanced. It manages to be more quiet, refined and powerful, and at the same time, more fuel-efficient too with a fuel economy of 25.79km/L (61MPG) . So if you do lots of driving and are serious about finding a way to cut back on your fuel bill, you need to seriously consider this car.**[/quote]
