Hyundai Showcases Fuel Cell Technology at APEC 2025 to Propel Hydrogen Leadership

Hyundai Motor Company is stepping up in a big way for the upcoming 2025 APEC Ministerial Meetings in Busan, South Korea, rolling out a zero-emission fleet of 63 vehicles. Leading the charge is a group of 34 next-gen Hyundai Nexo hydrogen fuel cell SUVs, underscoring the country’s push to be at the forefront of hydrogen mobility and zero-emission technology.

A showcase of real-world hydrogen innovation

Alongside the Nexo, the fleet includes the sleek Genesis Electrified G80, the bold Kia EV9, and the cutting-edge Hyundai Universe Hydrogen Bus. Together, they’ll handle official transport duties for the summit—all without producing a single gram of tailpipe CO2. It’s not just talk—this is sustainable energy in action.

Meet the 2025 Nexo: Performance with a clean conscience

The updated 2025 Nexo is built for more than just clean driving—it’s made for real life. With a driving range of 720 kilometers, a robust 120 kW fuel cell, and refuelling in under five minutes, it proves that fuel cell technology can keep up with modern demands. It’s fast, efficient, and totally focused on helping cut emissions without compromising convenience.

More than a fleet—it’s a message

As energy ministers from over 40 economies gather in Busan, they won’t just hear about the future—they’ll ride in it. Hyundai’s goal is to spark momentum for broader adoption of hydrogen fuel cells and drive real growth in hydrogen infrastructure throughout the Asia-Pacific region. It’s all part of South Korea’s larger vision of leading the charge toward clean, connected mobility on a global scale.
