A Bold Step in Hydrogen Tech
Hyundai’s introduction of the Universe hydrogen bus is turning heads with its impressive 960 km range, almost doubling the old model’s 450-500 km capacity [1][2]. This milestone is empowered by a robust dual motor and transmission system paired with a 48.2 kWh lithium-ion battery [1]. Talk about making a charged statement!
Redefining Public Transport
Equipped with a 350 kW power output, this hydrogen-electric marvel is ready to tackle urban jungles and rural expanses alike [1]. Its integrated safety features, including a hydrogen supply cut-off and a high-voltage battery fire delay system, ensure passenger security [1][2]. Hyundai is clearly serious about leading the eco-friendly transport charge.
A Commitment to Green Mobility
By debuting in Trojena, Neom, the Universe bus will face rigorous terrain tests, highlighting Hyundai’s ambition to prove its safety and reliability even in challenging conditions [1]. Hyundai aims to pioneer new standards in hydrogen mobility, indicating a shift in the public transport paradigm towards sustainable solutions [1][2].
Market Leadership in Hydrogen Vehicles
Hyundai currently leads the hydrogen vehicle market with a 30.5% share, demonstrating its dominance even as global sales have slowed [3]. The Universe bus is a testament to their ongoing innovations and dedication to advancing hydrogen technology.
