In a surprising turn of events, Hyundai is revisiting its stance on hydrogen powertrains amidst a slowdown in global electric vehicle sales. Previously focused on electric vehicles, Hyundai now sees an opportunity in the hydrogen market. The company is set to release the second-generation Nexo Fuel Cell Electric Vehicle (FCEV) in 2025, featuring a 100kW fuel cell stack and an increased range of over 800km. The new model is also more compact and durable, expected to last up to 320,000km. Despite the limited hydrogen filling stations globally, Hyundai is optimistic about the potential of hydrogen as a niche market worth exploring. The company's CEO, Jaehoon Chang, expressed confidence in pioneering the uptake of hydrogen vehicles and leading the market. Hyundai is not only focusing on vehicle production but also on innovating in hydrogen production methods, such as extracting hydrogen from waste biomass and plastics. With a vision to make hydrogen-powered vehicles more affordable, Hyundai's reentry into the hydrogen market marks a significant shift in the clean energy race.
