Hyundai believes in hydrogen, the new Nexo will come sooner than you think

Very few cars and other vehicles run on hydrogen anymore. However, some manufacturers are not yet excluding the fuel. In fact, Hyundai is launching a new generation of the Nexo.

Toyota also announced in November last year that it would bring a new hydrogen car onto the market. Will there even be an alternative to the plug-in car?

The new Hyundai Nexo

During the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas, the brand announced that the new Nexo will be launched in 2025. In addition to cars, Hyundai also wants to produce hydrogen-powered trucks, ships and trams.
