The Rescue Drone, for example, combines with the Fuel Cell e-Bogie to create a flying drone that can be operated remotely and autonomously. The drone can be used for critical operations such as fire-fighting and life-saving. It features an independent steering system for in-place turning maneuvers and ‘crab-walk’ driving feature. It can achieve a 450 to 500 km driving range from a single full charge.
In order to achieve its ambitious hydrogen-fuelled ambitions, Hyundai will introduce a new generation fuel cell system in 2021. This will come in 100-kW and 200-kW variations and will be up to 50 per cent cheaper than its existing fuel cell electric vehicle technology. It will also be 30 per cent more compact and and twice more powerful.
