Hyundai is investing over a billion dollars in hydrogen fuel cells

Hyundai intends to produce more than 100,000 hydrogen fuel cells annually. This will make Hyundai the world’s largest producer of hydrogen fuel cells. The news was announced at the groundbreaking ceremony.

These are not the first Hyundai hydrogen cell factories. The first factory, Hyundai built three years ago with a capacity of 23,000 fuel cells per year. By increasing capacity, the Korean manufacturer would gain more momentum in the global mobility race. Currently, Hyundai uses most fuel cell systems in electric cars.

President and CEO of Hyundai Mobis, Sung Hwan Cho, said:
“Despite uncertainties including COVID-19, we have decided to make this large-scale investment to secure the market-leading competitiveness in the global fuel cell industry. We will continue to invest more in facilities and strengthen our R&D capability for the development of the hydrogen industry and expand the ecosystem. ”

With an investment of $ 1.1 billion, Hyundai intends to expand the use of its fuel cell power packs to construction machinery and logistics equipment. Last year they developed fuel cell power packs for hydrogen forklifts, and now they are developing power packs for hydrogen-fueled excavator.

The biggest “sinners” on the roads

Have you ever wondered who are the fastest drivers on the roads? The answer was given by a study that included 393 car models.

Subaru drivers, especially those with the WRX model, use the accelerator pedal the most. This is the result of an annual study conducted by Isurify, an American company that compares car insurance.

18.8 percent of WRX drivers have been fined for speeding at least once, while the state average is 9.59 percent. Drivers of Hyundai models such as the Hyundai Genesis Coupe (17.72 percent), Kia Stinger (16.58 percent) and Hyundai Veloster (14.65 percent) also entered the Top 10.

On American roads, the WRX model is in first place, and two Subaru models, BRZ and Impreza, are in the top 10.

In Europe, the Volkswagen Golf GTI ranks eighth with 14.95 percent. Last year it was positioned in second place with 17.38%. VW Golf drivers seem to have learned to obey traffic regulations. What is not surprising is the fact that five out of ten cars on the list are sports cars.

The fact that five out of 10 cars with the highest number of speeding fines are sports cars is not surprising. What is surprising is that the prices of all these cars are lower than the national average of $ 41,044.
