Hyundai Motors to Introduce All of its Hydrogen Value Chains in Japan

Driving range of 720km, surpassing Toyota
Scheduled for launch in Japan in the first half of this year

Hyundai Motor Group will solidify its position as a global leader in the hydrogen sector by introducing all of its hydrogen value chains in Japan, the birthplace of hydrogen.
Especially designed for models to be launched in Japan, a vehicle-to-home (V2H) function that can supply power to homes in case of an emergency, considering disaster situations such as earthquakes and power outages. Hyundai Motors will launch The All-New Nexo in the first half of this year. In addition to passenger models, hydrogen-electric trucks and hydrogen-electric tram models will also be shown at this exhibition.

Hyundai Motor Group is also demonstrating its capabilities as an ‘energy solution company’ beyond just being an automobile manufacturer. ‘The hydrogen automatic EV charging robot,’ developed by Robotics Lab will show a charging demonstration of The All-New Nexo. This robot enables 24-hour unmanned charging without human intervention, through vision AI technology.
The company will also display a model of a packaged hydrogen-charging station to expand the hydrogen charging infrastructure. This charging station is designed to modularize core facilities in the form of containers so that they can be freely placed, both horizontally and vertically. In addition, it is considered a practical alternative to solving the problem of securing land for charging stations in urban areas, which is the biggest obstacle to the supply of hydrogen cars, by incorporating multi-layering and undergrounding technology.
Furthermore, Hyundai Motor will also unveil its hydrogen-burner technology for decarbonizing the manufacturing process. Starting with the company’s plant in Ulsan, it will convert to hydrogen about 5,000 liquefied natural gas (LNG) burners in domestic production bases and introduce it to more production bases in North America and Europe.
Hyundai Motor established a hydrogen research and development organization in 1998 and has been conducting research for 30 years.
