Put another way, the fuel cell technology is being developed so as to work as components in the MQB (transverse) kit, the development of which is led by the Volkswagen brand, and the MLB (longitudinal) kit being driven by Audi. An outer skin made from carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) encases the inner aluminum shell.

liter engine, which can be mounted either transversely or longitudinally—it is part of the MQB (transverse) as well as the MLB (longitudinal) assembly kits ( earlier post )—has already been applied in the Audi A4 in Europe in a longitudinal mounting. “[The MQB and MLB. The EA888] is an engine family that can serve many purposes.

The Ioniq Electric applies a torsion-beam rear axle, providing more space for the 28 kWh lithium-ion polymer batteries, placed below the rear seats. We preferred sport mode when (a) driving for fund on windings roads and (b) overtaking on two-lane roads. However, even with a much larger battery pack (8.9 kWh vs 1.58
