[Asia Economy Reporter Suyeon Woo] Chung Euisun, Executive Vice Chairman of Hyundai Motor Group, is expanding his management activities by taking on the role of a private diplomat promoting a hydrogen society in front of U.S. governors and government officials. Following his presentation of the three core principles of a hydrogen society as co-chair at the recent Hydrogen Council CEO Summit, and emphasizing the value of hydrogen energy at the Davos Forum, Executive Vice Chairman Chung is now broadening his stage to U.S. political circles, actively working as a 'hydrogen society evangelist.'

According to Hyundai Motor Group on the 10th, on the 8th (local time), Executive Vice Chairman Chung demonstrated the air purification function of the hydrogen electric vehicle Nexo at the official reception of the 'National Governors Association Winter Meeting' held at the Korean Ambassador’s residence in Washington DC, emphasizing the vision of a hydrogen society based on hydrogen energy.

As the representative of Korean businesspeople giving a toast, he said, "I thank the governors who are working hard for economic exchange and cooperation with Korea and countries around the world," adding, "The friendship and trust derived from the values we share are more important than anything else."

The National Governors Association meeting is held twice a year, in winter and summer, where governors from all 50 U.S. states and 5 territories gather to discuss intergovernmental policy issues and invite key figures from around the world for exchange. Notably, this was the first time the reception was held at the Korean Ambassador’s residence in the U.S., and simultaneously, it was the first time a Korean private businessperson showcased national cutting-edge technology at this event. Attendees noted that this was possible because Hyundai Motor Group’s hydrogen fuel cell technology is recognized as world-class, and because Executive Vice Chairman Chung has a clear vision for a hydrogen society.

On that day, Executive Vice Chairman Chung shared opinions with U.S. governors and others on the vision for a future hydrogen society and mobility innovation. He also conveyed Hyundai Motor Group’s efforts to expand the distribution of hydrogen fuel cell systems within the U.S. Since the beginning of this year, Executive Vice Chairman Chung has been actively working as a hydrogen society evangelist. Last month, he attended the Hydrogen Council CEO Summit held in Paris, France, and the Davos Forum in Switzerland, where he presented measures to realize a hydrogen society. He also made efforts to promote a mobility vision linked to hydrogen energy at CES 2020 held in Las Vegas, U.S.
