Hyundai Motor Group is pushing hydrogen mobility beyond passenger cars into buses, trucks, trams, and ships. This article visits Incheon and Ulsan to see hydrogen electric buses in service, hydrogen trucks at a CJ Logistics depot, and early work on hydrogen combustion engines for marine use. It also covers fuel cell basics, the energy density advantage over batteries, and the infrastructure limits that remain. The piece is useful for anyone tracking low carbon transport in Korea. It notes real deployments and real bottlenecks, like the fact that most hydrogen stations still target cars rather than heavy vehicles. It also flags that some on site hydrogen production currently uses natural gas reforming, which means the climate benefit depends on how the hydrogen is made.
