Fuel cell Tucson

13 April 2004: Hyundai will start trials in the US later this year of a hydrogen fuel cell electric version of its new Tucson.

The fuel cell programme is being developed at the same time as the conventional petrol and diesel Tucson models, so all development data goes into the fuel cell car at the same time.

The Tucson FCEV (Fuel Cell Electric Vehicle) has a touring range that has been extended to 186 miles, thanks to its 152 litre hydrogen storage tanks. It also has the capability of starting and running in sub-zero conditions.
