Fuel Cell System
World Class Hydrogen Fuel Cell System
HTWO fuel cell system, the product of more than 20 years of research and development, represents Hyundai's commitment to creating a new paradigm — the hydrogen society. Hyundai is continuing to develop new applications for fuel cell technology beyond automobiles.
Highlights
Fuel Cell Systems:
Clean Power to Move the World
Becoming the first company to mass-produce FCEVs in 2013, Hyundai Motor Company is leading
the hydrogen-powered passenger car and commercial vehicle markets.
Hyundai is expanding its HTWO fuel cell business to diverse fields that require clean power generation.
Technology
The Cleanest Engine with Zero Emissions
Inside the fuel cell, hydrogen reacts with oxygen to create clean electrical energy that can be used for any purpose.
The sole byproduct is pure water vapor that safely returns to nature. It’s the cleanest and most natural technology.
Outstanding Fuel Efficiency
Key system components have been optimized to achieve outstanding fuel efficiency (up to 62%).

System
Stack
Management Sytem
Here, hydrogen is safely transferred from the high-pressure hydrogen tanks to the low-pressure fuel cell stack.
The oxygen necessary to react with the hydrogen is drawn from the atmosphere. To keep the fuel cell stack free from pollutants, the indrawn air passes through a purification system that cleans it of any particulates. This is why FCEVs leave cleaner air behind.
This is where the chemical reaction between stored hydrogen and atmospheric oxygen takes place. Fuel cell stacks consist of hundreds of cells, and each cell consists of an electrolyte membrane, separator and catalyst, a fuel electrode and an air electrode.
High heat would curb the optimal performance and lifespan of the fuel cell stack. The thermal management system prevents the electrolyte membrane from being exposed to such high temperatures.
