At a time when battery electric vehicles (BEVs) are increasingly accepted in global markets, Hyundai has chosen to double down on an alternative to BEV technology - hydrogen fuel cell technology. Citing a sharp increase in natural disasters and growing environmental problems, Hyundai believes expanding the reach of hydrogen is essential to save the planet, with Group Chairman Euisun Chung ending his speech with an almost ominous statement: “ This could be the last train to hydrogen. society and time is running out. "
Before that deadline expires, Hyundai has taken action with its Hydrogen Vision 2040 strategy, which promises to bring hydrogen fuel cell technology to all forms of mobility - including not just electric vehicles. fuel cells for private and commercial use, but also to other forms of transport, including trains, trams and air mobility solutions.
To this end, Hyundai has used its Hydrogen Wave platform to unveil its third-generation hydrogen fuel cell powertrain, which will go into series production in 2023. It will be offered in two versions (100 kW for vehicles from tourism and 200 kW for commercial vehicles). ), the costs of the third-generation fuel cell powertrain have been reduced by more than 50% compared to the second-generation powertrain, and it is also 30% smaller, which means that it will alleviate the stress of 'packaging.

After working to reduce the total cost of developing an FCEV hydrogen powertrain by up to 98% over the past 20 years, Hyundai is now aiming for a deadline of 2030 to help FCEV powertrains achieve price parity with the BEVs.
Hyundai also showed off its first high-performance FCEV during the hydrogen wave announcement. Dubbed the Hyundai Vision FK, the prototype - which appears to be based on the Kia Stinger - features a hybrid powertrain setup, incorporating a rechargeable battery electric system developed by Rimac Automobili (in which Hyundai has a stake) as well as a fuel - cellular energy converter.
With a total output of over 680 hp, the rear-wheel-drive Vision FK would go from 0 to 100 km / h in less than four seconds and have a range of 600 kilometers. Interestingly, Hyundai R&D chief Albert Biermann noted that the Vision FK was "technically excessive" and its packaging was "extremely complicated". As it stands, the Vision FK doesn't appear to be at the performance level that BEVs have already achieved and sounds like a pretty complex package overall.
At the forum, a fuel cell "flatbed system" was also revealed that lowers the stack height by 25cm, which can be used on different types of vehicles (PV, CV and streetcars) by mounting the system on the upper or lower part of the body. of the vehicle.
