Hyundai unveils hydrogen-powered concept vehicle: <\/strong>Hyundai Motor debuted a new hydrogen-powered car, Initium, which will be released on the market in 1H 2025 as part of its energy transition strategy, Bloomberg<\/a> reported on Thursday. <\/p>\n

The specs:<\/strong> Initium will have a driving range of over 650 km. The car can also be added to a household\u2019s electricity supply to step in as a backup source of energy. The car has a slightly longer range than the company\u2019s 2018 first hydrogen-based SUV, Nexo, which had a 609 km range.<\/p>\n

Hydrogen cars aren\u2019t popular, but Hyundai is still going in: <\/strong>Hydrogen fuel is still hard to scale and is difficult to move, store, and distribute, and the majority of research indicates that EVs are the best bet for cutting car emissions in terms of speed and costs of mass adoption. Still, the company pledged USD 4 bn to the technology as part of efforts to reach net zero by 2045. Hydrogen-powered vehicles \u201care not the type that\u2019s profitable, but regardless, we\u2019re pushing for it, tackling it as if it\u2019s a mission of ours,\u201d CEO Jaehoon Chang said during the debut event.<\/p>\n

What does the company see in hydrogen? <\/strong>Hydrogen refuels faster and allows for a longer driving range. It also has a higher storage density and can be lighter, making the clean fuel better suited for heavy-duty commercial use. <\/p>\n

There are some other proponents of hydrogen vehicles: <\/strong>Saudi Arabia\u2019s Transport General Authority initiated a trial phase<\/a> of hydrogen-powered vehicles in the private taxi sector last month. BMW also said it was planning to launch its first hydrogen-powered car<\/a> in 2028 with Toyota. Meanwhile, major truck manufacturers like Volvo and MAN are developing hydrogen combustion engines<\/a> as a quicker, cost-effective alternative to diesel in a bid to accelerate their transition to low-emission technologies. <\/p>\n

We may see commercial hydrogen-powered trucks sooner than other vehicles:<\/strong> Some truck manufacturers are betting on hydrogen as more suitable for long-range, heavyweight trucks than batteries, which are very slow to charge and heavy. Major truck manufacturers like Volvo and MAN \u2014 which plans to test 200 hydrogen trucks next year \u2014 are developing hydrogen combustion engines<\/a> as a quicker, cost-effective alternative to diesel in their bid to accelerate the transition to low-emission technologies. Germany\u2019s Bosch and US\u2019s Cummins are also working to overcome challenges to scaling hydrogen trucks, with Cummins aiming to have market-ready products within five years. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
