The collaboration also includes assessing the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) and conducting studies on the economic and environmental benefits of adopting hydrogen-powered vehicles in the Indian market. Unsoo Kim, Managing Director of HMIL, expressed optimism about combining world-class hydrogen fuel cell technology with Indian expertise through this partnership. Dr. Alok Sharma, Director (R&D) and Board Member of IndianOil, highlighted the significance of hydrogen fuel in India's clean energy roadmap, emphasizing the potential of fuel cell technology in achieving net carbon neutrality. The collaboration between HMIL and IndianOil aims to accelerate the development of a hydrogen ecosystem in India, promoting sustainable mobility and contributing to the country's energy security and carbon neutrality goals. Both companies are enthusiastic about the transformative potential of hydrogen as a green energy source and are committed to demonstrating its viability for the future.
