Hydrogen Mobility
Hyundai Rotem is developing hydrogen mobility technology for a sustainable future.
By innovating a wide range of hydrogen mobility, Hyundai Rotem is leading the advancement of the hydrogen mobility for the railway industry.
Hydrogen Mobility
as a Living Reality
Hyundai Rotem’s hydrogen fuel cell tram is gaining attention as a future mode of public transportation, designed to ensure seamless transit within complex urban environments. Hydrogen Fuel Cells produce electricity through the chemical reaction of hydrogen and oxygen, and demonstrates optimal efficiency even on routes with long driving distances and high operating frequencies. High-density filters inside the hydrogen fuel cell can filter out fine dust.
The Hydrogen Fuel Cell Tram
The hydrogen fuel cell tram is an sustainable transportation with various advantages. Hyundai Rotem is strengthening technological capabilities related to hydrogen mobility such as hydrogen fuel cell trams and also striving to create an ecosystem for related industries.
| Advantages | |
|---|---|
| Power source | Hybrid propulsion system based on a combination of hydrogen fuel cell and electric battery |
| Economic viability | Self-powered propulsion eliminating the need for power supply infrastructure (catenaries) and high energy efficiency for advantageous long-distance operations |
| Efficiency | Maximization of utility in constrained urban areas through catenary-free systems / Enhanced commuting convenience and reduction of traffic congestion |
| Sustainability | Decarbonization / Air purification |
| Punctuality | Dedicated Lane Operations / Signal Priority at Intersections |
| Convenience | Enhanced accessibility via low-floor design |
Design Leadership
Hyundai Rotem is continuously strengthening its design competitiveness across the entire hydrogen mobility lineup. Hydrogen fuel cell tram, hydrogen powered car, hydrogen low floor EMU were honored at Germany’s ‘iF Design Award’, solidifying our position as a leader in hydrogen mobility design within the railway industry.
