Hyundai Motor and Plus Unveil Concept for Autonomous Hydrogen Freight Ecosystem at ACT Expo 2025

Transcript

00:01Our world is a delicate balance of natural beauty and wild landscapes, bold progress, and human ambition.

00:09Every choice we make is an opportunity to shape our world into something better.

00:14By combining the best of hydrogen technology and self-driving technology,

00:18Hyundai and Plus share a vision for how autonomous hydrogen fuel cell trucks

00:23could drive demand for an autonomous freight network and supporting infrastructure.

00:27Hydrogen fuel cell trucks offer zero tailpipe emissions, an impressive driving range, efficiency, ease of maintenance, and refueling speed.

00:37By supercharging hydrogen fuel cell trucks with self-driving technology,

00:41the truck's operating cost decreases, and this will go down further the more they're utilized.

00:46How? Start hub-to-hub deliveries using autonomous fuel cell trucks on busy, high-utilization routes.

00:53Add refueling stations to service the autonomous fuel cell trucks as more routes come online.

00:59This way, the stations would quickly achieve full utilization and move into self-sustaining profitability.

01:05Then, continue across the Sunbelt region, and from there, expand nationally.

01:10With that growth comes a network of supporting hydrogen infrastructure points of service.

01:15Once established, the fuel cell infrastructure can refuel autonomous trucks and other hydrogen-powered vehicles.

01:22This isn't just about using technology to make the world better.

01:26It's about showing how autonomous hydrogen fuel cell trucks can spark a future

01:30that keeps our environment green for generations to come.
