Hyundai Motor Co. has introduced a new hydrogen-powered vehicle named Initium, set for release in the first half of the upcoming year. This vehicle aims to achieve a driving range of over 650 kilometers, surpassing their previous hydrogen-based SUV, the Nexo. Hyundai's Initium can also serve as a backup power source by connecting to a household's electricity supply. Despite the challenges in commercial viability, transportation, and storage of hydrogen, Hyundai is making a substantial investment of $4 billion over the next decade to lead the transition towards carbon neutrality by 2045. While hydrogen cars face obstacles in gaining popularity, Hyundai remains optimistic about the potential of hydrogen, especially for commercial vehicles where its advantages such as faster refueling and longer range come into play. The company envisions hydrogen playing a crucial role in the commercial vehicle sector due to its higher storage density offering benefits in weight and range compared to battery-powered options. However, sales data reveals that hydrogen car sales represent a small fraction of Hyundai's total deliveries, with battery-powered EVs dominating the market. This indicates the need for further development and investment in the hydrogen sector to drive its adoption and overcome current challenges.
