Hyundai eyes fuel cell future: Korean car maker plots bespoke, second-generation hydrogen-fuelled SUV with a 500-mile range

摘要

Hyundai's next-generation hydrogen-powered car will be a bespoke design, as the firm bids to challenge the Toyota Mirai for supremacy in the emerging fuel cell market. Both Hyundai and Toyota put the first mass-produced hydrogen fuel cell vehicles on sale this year, but while' the Mirai is a bespoke design, Hyundai's model is based on the existing - and now superseded - ix35 SUV. Hyundai embarked on the project using an existing platform as a result of its pledge to sell a hydrogen car to any customer anywhere in the world and without a lead time of more than three months.
