Hyundai Motor Group to launch brand dedicated to its hydrogen fuel cell system

In a move meant to boost its business, South Korean automaker Hyundai Motor Group has stated that it is launching a brand dedicated to its hydrogen fuel cell system. The Group which includes Hyundai Motor Co and Kia Motors Corp said the name 'HTWO' stands for the hydrogen molecule H2 as well as ‘hydrogen’ and ‘humanity’.

The automobile manufacturer said that it was stepping up efforts to develop fuel cell systems that could be used in the Urban Air Mobility (UAM), auto, vessels and trains markets with a focus on Korea, the United States, Europe, and China.

After introducing the ix35 fuel cell electric vehicle in 2013, Hyundai has added the NEXO SUV, the XCIENT fuel cell heavy-duty truck and a fuel cell electric bus.

Hydrogen backers are of the view that it is cleaner than other carbon-cutting technologies because water and heat are the only by-products and it can be made from numerous sources including methane, coal, water and even garbage.
