摘要

South Korea's Hyundai Motor Co. aims to have 2,000 units/year of production capacity for hydrogen fuel cell heavy-duty trucks by 2021, the company said Oct. 8, a day after it delivered the first of such trucks to Switzerland. "Hyundai Motor Company plans to expand ... to all over Europe, including Germany, Norway, the Netherlands and Austria. Through this, the goal is to supply 1,600 units by 2025 and more than 25,000 units of hydrogen electric trucks by 2030 to the European market," it said, after seven of its first mass-produced fuel cell heavy-duty trucks reached Switzerland. "Based on the successful entry into Europe, we will continue the journey of new eco-friendly commercial vehicles to North America and China in the future," said In Cheol Lee, executive vice president and head of the commercial vehicle division. By 2030, it expects to make about 500,000 hydrogen-powered vehicles, together with projections of more than 12,000 fuel cell trucks on US roads and about 1 million hydrogen-fueled vehicles on roads in China.
