Honda and Hyundai Developing Both Hydrogen and All-Electric Vehicles

Honda and Hyundai are remaining committed to developing hydrogen fuel-cell vehicles alongside EVs, in the hope that one of these alternate powertrains will prove to be the way of the future.

Although many automakers are convinced that all-electric is the way forward, Honda and Hyundai aren’t totally convinced and are working on both hydrogen and electric models. By 2020, for example, Hyundai will launch five hybrids, four plug-in hybrids, four all-electric models, and one fuel cell vehicle.

Honda and Hyundai are among just a handful of carmakers to have brought hydrogen models to the market, namely the Tucson Hybrid and Clarity. Previously, the spotlight was dominated by Toyota's hydrogen-fueled Mirai.
