Hyundai is set to unveil plans for a number of hydrogen-based products and technologies next month – and that includes a new track-honed performance sedan.
The Korean company says its online Hydrogen Wave event on September 7th will showcase plans for a “future vision of a sustainable hydrogen society”. Hyundai also says, “State-of-the-art future fuel cell electric vehicles – as well as other innovative applications – will be showcased during the forum.”
One of the videos shows a camouflaged Hyundai hydrogen-powered sedan being tested on a racetrack, with the headline “Hydrogen, It’s Full Towards a Clean Future”. Although no details were given, Hyundai previously announced that its N-Performance brand will develop both hydrogen fuel cell and battery electric vehicles in the future.
The car seen in the teaser videos has similarities to the US-only Veloster N, although it appears shorter and has a different design around the rear windows.
The other videos show new hydrogen products for freight and public transport. The teaser video about using hydrogen to power commercial vehicles features branded vehicles for HTWO, Hyundai’s recently established sub-brand that will expand its global fuel cell business.
Together with Toyota, Hyundai Motor Group has continued to invest heavily in the development of hydrogen technology for both transportation and other uses. Hyundai says it is working on “exciting plans and business strategies for new hydrogen mobility technology, next-generation fuel cell systems and applications for various industries beyond the automotive industry.”
Hyundai has a long history of hydrogen fuel cell technology including the ix35, Ioniq FCEV and Nexo FCV vehicles.
Various Hyundai subsidiaries will also be showcasing products at the event that have been developed using the company’s hydrogen technology.
