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 eco-friendly means of 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 method of hydrogen fuel cell and electric battery combination |
| Economics | Based on a method of self-powered production, which does not require power supply facilities (tram lines, etc.), and with a low vehicle energy consumption rate, making it advantageous for long-distance driving. |
| Efficiency | Maximizing efficiency and improving the convenience of moving downtown and traffic congestion in the city center, where it is difficult to construct tram line facilities |
| Eco-friendliness | Zero carbon emissions and air purification |
| Punctuality | Operation of exclusive routes and application of priority signals at intersections |
| Convenience | Convenient use for passengers with reduced mobility due to a low-floor structure |
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.
