Hyundai Motor Company has unveiled the Initium, a hydrogen fuel cell electric vehicle (FCEV) concept that signifies the beginning of the company's next production model slated for the first half of 2025. Named after the Latin word for 'beginning,' the Initium showcases Hyundai's dedication to advancing hydrogen vehicle technology. The SUV concept focuses on driving range, interior space, and safety, featuring large hydrogen fuel tanks for a range exceeding 650 kilometers, a 150 kW electric motor for smooth acceleration, and safety measures like a multi-skeleton structure and nine airbags. Hyundai's Executive Vice President of Global Design highlighted the innovative manufacturing process that led to the creation of the Initium's Art of Steel design language. The concept also introduces FCEV-specific technologies such as a route planner for hydrogen charging stations and V2L capability to power external devices. As part of Hyundai's broader hydrogen strategy, the company will present the Initium at upcoming auto shows, continuing its 27-year legacy in hydrogen vehicle development. The production version of the Initium is expected to launch in 2025, symbolizing Hyundai's latest achievement in the realm of hydrogen mobility.
