The car was driven from the #event to Presidential Palace and exhibited to Brazilian President, Michel Temer.

The SOFC-powered prototype vehicle made is global debut in August during the Rio Olympics. Nissan's participation in Renova Bio with SOFC intends to continue communicating its vision for Intelligent Mobility from the world's top producer of biofuel ethanol, Brazil.

The SOFC concept is run via bioethanol electric power and delivers a driving autonomy of over 600 km. The new system features an "e-Bio Fuel Cell" with a power generator powered by a SOFC.
