FAQ
Questions about Hydrogen Fuel Cell Solutions
-
Hydrogen fuel cells generate electricity through an electrochemical reaction between hydrogen and oxygen. Inside the fuel cell stack, hydrogen (H2) reacts with oxygen (O2) from the air to produce electricity and water (H2O).
Because this process operates without combustion, it produces no exhaust emissions; the only by-product is pure water.
-
A battery releases stored electricity, whereas a hydrogen fuel cell generates electricity as it is continuously supplied with hydrogen fuel. With shorter refueling times and longer driving ranges, hydrogen fuel cells are particularly well suited for heavy-duty vehicles and industrial equipment that require extended operating hours.
-
Hydrogen fuel cell systems can be applied across a wide range of applications, from mobility solutions such as passenger vehicles, buses, and heavy-duty trucks to trams, ships, forklifts, excavators, automated guided vehicles (AGVs), military vehicles, and generators.
Depending on the operating conditions and environment, Hyundai offers three configurations: engine-type fuel cell systems, flat-type fuel cell systems, and power packs. Its lineup continues to expand to support an even broader range of applications.
-
The flat-type fuel cell system was developed for application in hydrogen fuel cell trams. Based on an automotive fuel cell system, it was redesigned by rearranging the stack and operating-system components to meet the packaging requirements of tram vehicles.
While the engine-type fuel cell system is designed to fit inside a vehicle’s engine compartment, the flat-type fuel cell system features a reduced height for installation on the roof of a tram.
The redesigned tram-mounted flat-type fuel cell system has been validated for performance and reliability through development and production-stage testing. It is also planned for application in a wider range of uses in the future.
-
Hyundai currently offers a power pack lineup tailored to a range of applications.
The 10 kW power pack is under development for 3-ton-class forklifts. The 100 kW power pack is under development for use in construction, agriculture, ports, and mobile power generation applications, including tractors, excavators, and automated guided vehicles (AGVs).
Going forward, Hyundai plans to develop power packs with a wider range of specifications—including varying power outputs and configurations combining fuel cell systems with hydrogen storage and optional battery systems—to expand hydrogen fuel cell technology across industries.
