Hyundai and Kia to develop next gen hydrogen fuel cells with W. L. Gore

Hyundai Motor Company and Kia Corporation have signed an agreement with W. L. Gore to collaborate on developing PEM hydrogen fuel cell systems for commercial vehicles.

The two South Korean automakers – both owned by Hyundai – have been working together on fuel cells for over 15 years. This new partnership is now intended to focus on developing an “optimal” fuel cell system for commercial vehicles, with emphasis on enhancing performance and durability.

Gore’s membrane technology is currently used in around 100 fuel cell electric vehicle (FCEV) models, including Hyundai’s NEXO FCEV. Across its fuel cell products, Gore says it tailors the structure of ePTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene) to deliver high power density, and improved chemical and mechanical durability.
