The world's leading hydrogen energy technology landed in China: "htwo Guangzhou" was completed and put into production at the end of the year

As an important part of the "all-round hydrogen energy solution", Hyundai Motor Group launched a special brand for hydrogen fuel cells - htwo in 2020. The htwo brand embodies the rich experience of Hyundai Motor Group in the field of hydrogen fuel cell technology for 24 years, demonstrating the global leading position of Hyundai Motor Group in the field of hydrogen fuel cell technology. Wu chengcan said: we hope to promote the development of China's hydrogen energy industry with the world's leading hydrogen fuel cell technology and realize the hydrogen future of "high value development" together.

At this world new energy vehicle conference, Hyundai Motor group exhibited the world's leading hydrogen fuel cell system (for vehicles), hydrogen fuel cell system (for rail transit) and portable hydrogen fuel cell power generation system. The hydrogen fuel cell system (for vehicles) has won the title of "Ward's top ten engines". It has the characteristics of modularization, simplification and lightweight. After being certified by professional testing institutions, the power generation efficiency can reach more than 62%, which is the world's leading level. Hydrogen fuel cell system (for rail transit) and portable hydrogen fuel cell power generation system further expand the application scenarios of hydrogen fuel cell system.

In order to further promote the development of China's hydrogen energy industry, Hyundai Motor Group built the group's first overseas hydrogen fuel cell system production and sales base - "htwo Guangzhou" in early 2021. It is a comprehensive base including hydrogen fuel cell system production plant, R & D center and innovation center. It is also the first large-scale special plant for hydrogen fuel cell system production in China. It is estimated that the total investment will reach 8.5 billion yuan (including plant operating expenses) by 2030. At present, the construction of "htwo Guangzhou" is progressing smoothly and has started trial operation. It is planned to be completed and put into operation at the end of this year. At that time, it will be built into a comprehensive base covering an area of 202000 square meters, including a hydrogen fuel cell system production plant, a research and development center and an innovation center. After being put into operation, it will provide the world's leading hydrogen fuel cell system to many fields such as automobiles, ships, rail transit and power generation.

Mature hydrogen energy products are introduced into China: passenger car NEXO China Version is officially introduced within the year, and hydrogen fuel commercial vehicles have obtained production qualification

Hyundai Motor Group is not only one of the earliest vehicle enterprises to develop hydrogen fuel cell vehicles, but also the first enterprise to mass produce hydrogen fuel passenger vehicles and commercial vehicles. Today, Hyundai Motor Group has achieved the first sales volume of hydrogen fuel cell vehicles in the world. It is far ahead in the field of passenger vehicles and commercial vehicles, and its product technology and quality have been recognized globally.

NEXO, the second-generation hydrogen fuel cell vehicle launched in 2018, has accumulated a global sales volume of more than 27000 units by June 2022, and has won the first place in the global sales of hydrogen fuel cell vehicles with an overwhelming share; In 2020, xcient fuel cell, the world's first mass-produced hydrogen fuel cell heavy truck, was launched, which has been exported to Switzerland and the United States and has been put into commercial operation; The hydrogen fuel cell bus elec city fuel cell has been widely used in Korea, further expanding the lineup of hydrogen fuel cell vehicles. In addition, Hyundai Motor Group has announced that it will take the lead in becoming the first automobile manufacturer in the world to install hydrogen fuel cell systems in all its commercial vehicles in 2028.

In the Chinese market, Hyundai Motor Group continued to promote the introduction of hydrogen fuel cell models. In the field of passenger vehicles, the first hydrogen fuel cell passenger vehicle NEXO in China that complies with Chinese regulations is expected to be officially introduced into China within this year. The NEXO Chinese version of Hyundai Automobile has excellent performance in the range and energy supplement. Under the condition of full hydrogen, the range can reach 550 km under cltc-p working condition, and it only takes 5 minutes to fill up the hydrogen, which completely solves the problems of long energy supplement time and endurance anxiety of new energy vehicles. At present, the Chinese version of NEXO has been officially registered in the catalogue of new energy vehicles exempted from vehicle purchase tax (the 57th batch) of the Ministry of industry and information technology, which has taken another important step in the process of bringing Chinese consumers a new experience of "zero carbon emission" environmental travel.

In the field of commercial vehicles, Hyundai Motor Group's hydrogen fuel cell vehicles have also been commercialized and recognized by users. Compared with the traditional power commercial vehicles, the pollution to the air environment is more serious. The hydrogen fuel cell vehicle only discharges water during the driving process, but also purifies the surrounding air. It will play an important role in energy saving and emission reduction. At present, Hyundai Motor commercial vehicle has obtained the production qualification of hydrogen fuel cell commercial vehicle, and is actively exploring the local production plan.

Build a hydrogen energy industry ecology in China to help the high-quality development of China's hydrogen energy industry

In order to accelerate the arrival of the hydrogen energy society, Hyundai Automobile Group has also reached strategic cooperation with many hydrogen energy, energy and logistics enterprises around the world based on the exclusive brand htwo of hydrogen fuel cell system, and has carried out fine layout on almost all hydrogen energy industrial chain nodes of hydrogen production, hydrogen storage, hydrogen transportation and hydrogen consumption. In order to realize the "hydrogen vision 2040", we will strive to popularize hydrogen energy to "everyone, everything and everywhere" by 2040, and build a global hydrogen energy society.

Hydrogen energy is a socialized and systematic industry. Hyundai Motor Group is not only limited to promoting the technologies and products related to hydrogen energy travel in China, but also focuses on building the whole industrial chain of hydrogen energy. As early as 2018, Hyundai Motor Group and Beijing Tsinghua industrial development and Research Institute jointly established a hydrogen energy industry fund with a target scale of US $100 million to specifically incubate excellent start-up companies in the hydrogen energy industry. In addition, with the help of the modern automobile science and technology innovation Acceleration Center (hereinafter referred to as HCA), Hyundai Automobile Group has held various hydrogen energy industry exchanges for China's hydrogen energy start-ups, and promoted the high-quality development of China's hydrogen energy industry by accelerating support and signing strategic cooperation agreements.
