Hyundai Motor India has taken a significant leap towards advancing India’s clean energy future by partnering with IIT Madras and Guidance Tamil Nadu to establish the Hyundai HTWO Innovation Centre.
This state-of-the-art research and development hub, located within the Discovery Satellite Campus of IIT Madras at Thaiyur in Chennai, is poised to be a pivotal player in accelerating green hydrogen technology.
The primary objective of the HTWO Innovation Centre is to foster breakthroughs in green hydrogen, particularly for automotive applications, thereby contributing directly to India’s burgeoning clean energy landscape. This initiative marks a crucial milestone for India in the realm of hydrogen fuel cell technology, especially for passenger vehicles.
“Our vision goes beyond electrification. We see green hydrogen as a transformative energy solution with applications across sectors, from refining fuels to producing fertilisers and chemicals,” said Unsoo Kim, managing director, HMIL. This milestone marks the next phase in HMIL’s ₹100 crore commitment to pioneering green hydrogen innovation in India.
“For India to grow, Tamil Nadu needs to be growing by leaps and bounds, and that is exactly what the state is doing now through its amazing talent. The possibilities that are here in this amazing place are the possibilities that the rest of the world is only now looking up to. The Hyundai HTWO Innovation Centre is a crucial step towards indigenous hydrogen production,” said T R B Rajaa, industries minister of Tamil Nadu.
The establishment of this center follows Hyundai’s recent activities in the hydrogen space, including the showcase of its Nexo hydrogen Fuel Cell Electric Vehicle (FCEV) and an existing collaboration with Indian Oil Corporation. This concerted effort underscores Hyundai’s commitment to supporting India’s transition towards sustainable transportation and energy.
