Delving into Hyundai’s initiatives in hydrogen technology, with their innovations breaking records and showing great potential.
Hyundai makes great strides in hydrogen fuel cell technology, most notable being the ix35 fuel cell.
Here are some facts about the ix35 fuel cell:
- Hyundai ix35 Fuel Cell is a hydrogen-powered vehicle produced by Hyundai.
- The ix35 Fuel Cell has driven a record distance for a hydrogen-powered production car on a single tank, covering 700 kilometers across three countries.
- The Hyundai ix35 Fuel Cell is the world’s first mass-produced fuel cell electric vehicle.
- The vehicle has an output of 100 kW and its tank contains 5.64 kg of hydrogen, which lasts for a range of almost 600 km.
Hyundai is actively developing several innovations related to hydrogen fuel cell vehicles (FCVs) beyond the ix35 Fuel Cell:
Waste-to-Hydrogen and Plastic-to-Hydrogen Technologies
Hyundai has introduced innovative techniques to tackle challenges in hydrogen production, such as Waste-to-Hydrogen and Plastic-to-Hydrogen. These processes convert waste plastic and biogas generated from waste into clean hydrogen energy, demonstrating Hyundai’s commitment to a circular economy and sustainable hydrogen solutions.
