Continue to sink your teeth into hydrogen
During the Consumer Electronics Show, Hyundai announced that it is further committed to the use of hydrogen. This also includes a new car with a fuel cell on board. That will happen.
During the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas, Hyundai shed light on the great future it sees for the application of hydrogen. Hyundai envisions a hydrogen society with a hydrogen economy. It wants to make hydrogen itself and distribute it around the world in a ‘fair and safe way’. It even wants to generate biogas from organic waste, biogas to be used in the production of hydrogen. Trucks, trams, buses and ships with hydrogen technology play a major role in Hyundai’s hydrogen future. But also cars.
Confirmation: the new Nexo will arrive in 2025.
In 2022 it was announced that the Hyundai Nexo – an electrically powered SUV with a fuel cell – would not be replaced for the time being. An improved version would be released in 2024, later than the brand had initially planned. What seems? Hyundai is also not going to make it to 2024. During the CES in Las Vegas, Hyundai’s Chang Hwan Kim indicated that a completely new Hyundai Nexo will be available in 2025. Chang Hwan Kim is not the least, his job title is almost a complete sentence: Hyundai Senior Vice President and Head of Hydrogen Fuel Cell Development.
The current Hyundai Nexo was presented in 2018 during the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas. We would therefore not be surprised if the new Nexo makes its debut in January 2025 during the same technology fair. The Nexo succeeded the iX35 Fuel Cell and has three storage tanks on board that together can store 6.33 kilos (156.6 liters) of hydrogen. The Nexo has a 163 hp electric motor and a small 1.56 kWh battery. The range is 665 kilometers. The Hyundai Nexo currently costs €69,995 in the Netherlands and is available as a more fully equipped Nexo Plus from €78,995. To date, 362 Nexos have been registered in the Netherlands.
