Hyundai’s Nexo runs on hydrogen.
AN EXHIBITION dedicated to fuel-cell electric vehicles; this is what the Hyundai Motor Group is mounting in Shanghai. Displayed along the cars are technologies related to hydrogen-powered mobility.
Called Hyundai Hydrogen World (running until September 8), the show lets visitors experience and understand how the future global hydrogen society can be ushered in by the safe, eco-friendly and efficient energy, according to Hyundai.
It features an air-purifying demonstration on a 2019 Hyundai Nexo fuel-cell EV, another Nexo showing its internal mechanical parts, and galleries and spaces containing hydrogen-related information. Visitors can learn how hydrogen contributes to the sustainable economic and social development of China and the world, Hyundai said.
“Through the Hyundai Hydrogen World, we aim to spread understanding of our technological competence and vision for a global hydrogen society, which we have uniquely accumulated over the years,” said Byungho Lee, president of Hyundai Motor Group (China) Ltd. “Hyundai Motor Group will actively respond to the Chinese government’s new energy development policy, and plans to provide information related to the fuel-cell electric vehicle to a wider Chinese audience.”
In the zone showcasing air-purification on a Nexo, visitors can see how the car filters 99.9% of ultra-fine dust particles while driving. The 2019 Nexo, Hyundai’s second-generation fuel-cell EV boasting a 609-kilometer range on a single charge, emits only water vapor and even purifies the air while driving. The car has also earned a Top Safety Pick+ award from the US Insurance Institute for Highway Safety.
At the show, the zone dedicated to the future hydrogen society plays a movie explaining how fuel-cell electric technology is used in diverse home and industrial settings, such as hydrogen production and refueling, autonomous driving, electricity generation and solar energy.
The zone with an open fuel-cell EV shows its internal structure, parts and mechanism, including the hydrogen tank and fuel-cell system. It also explains differences between the combustion engine, electric and fuel-cell electric vehicles, as well as the safety of fuel-cell EVs.
The Hyundai Motor Group has announced plans to bring about a global hydrogen society by 2030 with technologies beyond the transportation sector. The carmaker targets to produce 500,000 fuel-cell EVs in 2030.
