On Sunday, Hyundai Motor Co. and Italian carmaker IVECO Group N.V. displayed their newest invention, the E-WAY H2, a hydrogen-powered fuel cell electric bus, at Busworld 2023 in Brussels, the world’s largest bus exhibition. The 12-meter-long, low-floor city bus is equipped with a 310-kW e-motor and an advanced fuel cell system provided by HTWO, a fuel cell system-based hydrogen business brand of Hyundai Motor Group. It can travel up to 450 kilometers on a single charge and allows for both hydrogen refueling and plug-in battery charging.
In March 2022, the two companies signed a memorandum of understanding to jointly develop commercial vehicle-related technologies and platforms as well as to explore mutual vehicle supply opportunities. This unveiling is a result of the partnership between the two companies and reflects their commitment to accelerating the transition towards net zero carbon mobility and transport.
