Hyundai Motor Co. tells the Korea Herald it is developing a hydrogen-powered, 5-ton garbage truck and pondering mass production of various commercial trucks.
Hyundai announced previously that it expects to product 1,000 fuel cell buses by 2020 under a government initiative. The company also is partnering on hydrogen-powered cars with Audi AG, which has said it will debut multiple fuel cell cars in 2020.
Hyundai’s next fuel cell passenger vehicle, the Nexo crossover, was unveiled in January and is expected to launch later this year. The model is quicker, more efficient and has a greater range than the company’s current Tucson fuel cell SUV.
As with other fuel cell developers, Hyundai says its goal is to make its fuel stacks smaller, cheaper and more durable. Kim Sae-hoon, who heads the carmaker’s fuel cell group, declares that range—now more than 600 km (373 miles) is no longer an issue for modern fuel cell systems.
