Hyundai is planning to manufacture a new hydrogen fuel cell utility vehicle with a 500-mile range, according to a report by Autocar.

The company "will launch a dedicated vehicle, although it is not clear what vehicle type it will be based around," said Sae-Hoon Kim, Hyundai-Kia’s head of hydrogen fuel cell research.

This year, both Toyota and Hyundai released mass-produced hydrogen fuel cell vehicles. Hyundai’s Tucson Fuel Cell was based on the ix35 SUV, a prior design.

"Developing a bespoke car offers clear advantages," Kim said. "For instance, the larger the radiators on a fuel cell car the better, and you can see on the Mirai that they have developed a cooling solution that helps with that scenario."

Are You Tracking Your Fleet's True Total Cost of Ownership?

Bobit Business Media surveyed 190 fleet professionals and found that while most fleets are tracking costs, fragmented systems and data gaps are keeping true TCO visibility out of reach. With rising pressure to control spend in an increasingly volatile environment, the gap between what fleets think they know and what the data actually shows is wider than you might expect. See how your peers are managing costs today and where the industry still has room to improve.
