Big news from South Korea. Hyundai Group (HMG), the massive industrial conglomerate that owns Hyundai Motor and Kia Motors, is investing 5.5billion in a plan that will boost production of hydrogen fuel cell systems to 700,000 units annually by 2030. 500,000 of those units will be hydrogen-fuelled commercial and passenger vehicles. HMG expects demand for such vehicles to reach 2million units a year by then, and demand for hydrogen fuel cells more generally to reach 5.5 to 6.5million units a year. That"s massive. Only recently Hyundai Motor released the Nexo a hydrogen-powered SUV based on the group"s first dedicated fuel-cell platform. You can read our full review by clicking on these blue words.
