Hyundai Pushes The Hydrogen Fuel Cell Mobility Market

Hyundai, a leading Korean automaker known for its successful electric vehicle (EV) lineup, continues to invest in hydrogen fuel cell EVs despite challenges, particularly in the U.S. market where federal policies have been unfavorable to EV adoption. Hyundai is collaborating with French gas company Air Liquide under a renewed Memorandum of Understanding to develop a sustainable hydrogen energy ecosystem spanning Europe, the U.S., and South Korea. Their partnership focuses not only on fuel cell vehicles but also on hydrogen production, storage, transportation, and broader clean energy solutions to support the global energy transition. This collaboration is part of the broader Hydrogen Council, an industry group founded in 2017 by major companies including Hyundai, Air Liquide, BMW, and Toyota, aimed at advancing hydrogen technologies in line with the Paris Agreement on climate change. While green hydrogen development has faced setbacks and slow progress globally, especially in Europe, the Council and its members remain committed to scaling hydrogen use, particularly in heavy-duty transport, logistics, and public
