Many did not know what to make of the funky-looking small crossover with its frog eye-like front-end design and, at the time, unusual proportions.

The idea is to put fuel cells into volume production faster and more efficiently. Both carmakers have been investing heavily in fuel-cell development for years. Audi rolled out its first A2H2 prototype in 2004, the Q5 HFC in 2008, an...
