Designed by 21-year-old Yuhan Zhang, the Volkswagen Aqua hovercraft concept offers an insight of a futuristic vehicle powered by hydrogen and propelled by an impeller. It has been designed as a solution to address the variety of terrain covering China, from the lakes, rivers and coastal waters to the roads, wetlands and snow. The Aqua all-terrain vehicle is capable of traveling to any place in the world with an adjustable ground clearance.

The Volkswagen Aqua is based on the future technology of air cushion and runs on more than one engine. Its hydrogen fuel cell-powered primary motor runs the main fan to inflate the skirt around the vehicle, which help raise the VW Aqua just above the ground. The fans at the rear run on individual electric motors to provide forward thrust and directional control. The speed varies on the terrains but the top speed can reach more than 100km/h.
