Iljin Highsolus to Supply Hydrogen Fuel Storage System for Hyundai Motor's North America Export Trucks

[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Jong-hwa] Iljin High Solus, an eco-friendly hydrogen fuel storage solution specialist under Iljin Group, is making a full-scale entry into the North American large hydrogen truck market in collaboration with Hyundai Motor Company.

Iljin High Solus announced on the 7th that it has been selected as the supplier of hydrogen storage systems for Hyundai Motor's hydrogen large trucks exported to North America.

The North American market is a key market, accounting for about 500,000 units out of the global medium and large truck market of 2.2 million units, representing 23% of the total global market.

Hyundai Motor plans to target the North American hydrogen commercial vehicle market with the 'Xcient' large hydrogen tractor (a truck that pulls a trailer), starting with the 'Eco-friendly Container Terminal Project' led by the California Environmental Authorities in the United States.

To this end, Hyundai Motor has developed a long-range hydrogen tractor model capable of running 800 km on a single charge with a trailer attached, reflecting the needs of the North American market, and Iljin High Solus will mass-produce and supply large Type 4 700 bar hydrogen fuel storage systems.

CEO Ahn Hong-sang of Iljin High Solus said, "The hydrogen storage system per truck is a large mobility system more than 10 times that of the hydrogen passenger car Nexo, which holds great technical significance," adding, "Based on our technological capabilities, we will actively contribute to Hyundai Motor's successful expansion of the hydrogen mobility market in North America, the largest commercial vehicle market."

Iljin High Solus is the world's largest mass producer of Type 4 hydrogen storage solutions, supplying hydrogen fuel tanks for Hyundai Motor's Nexo and hydrogen fuel storage systems entirely for domestic hydrogen buses.
