Hyundai and Iveco deepen partnership with new fuel cell bus

12. October 2023

Hyundai Motor unveiled a new fuel cell bus in early October. The vehicle, developed in collaboration with Iveco, made its debut at Busworld 2023 in Brussels, the largest exhibition of its kind in the world. The E-Way H2 is a 12-metre long low-floor city bus with a 310 kW electric motor. It draws its energy from a fuel cell system from the Hyundai subsidiary HTWO. With the advanced system, the bus can either be fuelled with hydrogen or the integrated battery can be charged. Regardless of this, Hyundai says the bus can travel up to 450 km on one fill or charge. Components, equipment, and machinery required for fuel cell and vehicle production in many cases must undergo KC Certification or KGS Registration to be approved for import and distribution in Korea.

As early as March 2022, the two companies signed a memorandum of understanding for the joint development of vehicle technologies and platforms as well as the mutual supply of components. This initially resulted in the presentation of a jointly developed hydrogen-powered delivery vehicle in September 2022. The eDaily, based on a conventional Iveco Daily delivery van, was presented at the IAA Commercial Vehicles exhibition in Hannover. The vehicle is equipped with a 140 kW electric motor from Iveco subsidiary FPT Industrial and a 90 kW fuel cell from Hyundai Motor. The seven-tonne van is fully charged within 15 minutes and can travel up to 350 km on one charge. The payload is up to three tonnes, depending on the version.
