He hydrogen It has enough potential to become the fuel of the future. It is one of the cleanest and most efficient ways to generate electricity in a fuel cell, while the feasibility of having combustion engines is also being studied. Meanwhile, there are brands that continue to bet heavily on its arrival. He Hyundai Initium Concept It is a declaration of intent from the Korean brand, which presents a prototype that stands out for its sustainability, while introducing a new design language.
This model, whose name means “beginning” in Latin, has lines that are quite different from those we see in other products in the range. It is because the “Art of Steel” arrives, that new language that makes reference to steel and its malleability. Its straight lines and lighting worked on several levels stand out. It is fully integrated into a robust bumper, which matches the wheel arches with 21 inch wheelsthe protections or the roof rack.
The name Initium refers to the fact that Hyundai is pioneer in the use of hydrogen. It already has the Nexo in production and it seems that the next thing will be a model similar to this prototype. It mounts a fuel cell together with a 204 HP electric motor. Not too many details have been given, but it will have a autonomy of up to 650 kilometers thanks to hydrogen and the energy it provides. It will take into account the charging infrastructure for this fuel when creating routes.
Another key feature of the Hyundai Initium Concept is that it has a Vehicle-to-Load (V2L) function to be able to load all kinds of accessories with the vehicle battery. As expected, the entire system is insured and there will be no need to worry about hydrogen even in the event of a collision. You can see that it is an SUV and stands out for its habitability. In the second row, access is comfortable due to the opening angle of the doors, while the seats can be reclined.
Also, there is good news, the production version of the Hyundai Initium is scheduled to be launched during the first half of 2025. More details will come later.
