Hyundai has unveiled its hydrogen fuel cell electric vehicle (FCEV) concept known as INITIUM. The top automaker revealed the concept vehicle at the ‘Clearly Committed’ event.
Em um comunicado à imprensa on 31 October, the company stated that this initiative is a clear demonstration of its commitment to hydrogen mobility and sustainability.
Additionally, INITIUM provides a preview of a new production FCEV that Hyundai Motor plans to unveil in the first half of 2025.
Pioneering hydrogen energy
The new vehicle concept is named INITIUM, meaning it is the first to pioneer the use of hydrogen power, which also affirms the company’s commitment to developing a hydrogen society.
This breakthrough is a culmination of the leading Korean automaker’s 27 years of hydrogen technology development. The unveiling also marks the debut of Hyundai Motor’s new design language called ‘Art of Steel’.
The company wrote that:
“Hyundai Motor’s clear, unwavering commitment to hydrogen over the past 27 years is rooted in our belief in its potential as a clean, accessible and therefore fair energy source for everyone. We are dedicated to pioneering a future where hydrogen is used by everyone, in everything, and everywhere. We invite you to join us on this journey.”
Hyundai’s dedicated hydrogen value chain business brand, HTWO, is also clearly displayed in the design of INITIUM, which is focused on performance, cabin space, as well as convenience and safety.
Leading in electric cars
Many automakers have embraced and developed the manufacture of electric vehicles, one of which is Hyundai. Going beyond just electrifying its vehicles, the company has added autonomous technology to its flagship electric vehicle, the IONIQ 5.
With the invention of the FCEV, Hyundai is pushing the boundaries of electric vehicles and exploring possibilities that have not been considered before.
It is also a company that is known to prioritize environmental safety, which is proven by the decision to harness hydrogen power for its vehicles.
