An Hydrogen CUV concept. Project cooperation with Volkswagen and WoodC.A.R.

Ceros is an hydrogen CUV (Crossover Utility Vehicle) for the rural space in the year 2028. With big connectors in the exterior on both sides the vehicle will be pluged autonomously by robots to the heating loop of an half self-sufficient house. The vehicle then replaces the future central heating. An integrated wood monocoque is visible at the exterior of the vehicles A- and C-Pillar. A retractable roof transforms the closed vehicle into a Pick-Up.

half self-sufficient house

„The vehicle as the central heating of an half self-sufficient house.“


An half self-sufficient house creates own hydrogen by solar panels on the roof. This hydrogen together with cold water will be pumped into the CUV. With the vehicles fuel cell CEROS creates warm water and electricity which goes back to the house (through the other side of the vehicles connector).
