In major Asian markets such as South Korea, Japan and China, many automakers and governments see significant potential for hydrogen fuel cell technology to become a mainstream sustainable fuel of the future alongside battery powered electric vehicles.
HMM has an agreement in place with Hydrospider, a joint venture between H2 Energy, Alpiq and Linde, to operate jointly a hydropower plant in Switzerland for hydrogen generation.
Hyundai Motor commercial vehicle chief Lee In-cheol said: "Through the partnership between Hyundai Hydrogen Mobility and Hydrospider, Hyundai Motor will offer its fuel cell electric trucks in a specially designed ecosystem."
This is seen as a launch pad for broader market acceptance of hydrogen fuel cell vehicles in Europe.
