Hyundai Motor Breaks Ground on Hydrogen Fuel Cell Production Facility in Korea
International hydrogen industry leaders also attended, including Ivana Jemelkova, CEO of the Hydrogen Council — a global CEO-led initiative that brings together leading companies with a united vision and ambition for hydrogen to accelerate the clean energy transition. Jemelkova was visiting Korea for the 2025 APEC CEO Summit in Gyeongju.
"This plant embodies Hyundai Motor Group's strategic commitment to advancing the hydrogen society transition," Vice Chair Chang said in his opening remarks. "It will serve as a critical foundation for securing national economic growth momentum and establishing Korea's leadership in the global hydrogen industry."
The new facility will occupy 43,000 square meters on the site of a former internal combustion engine transmission plant — a symbolic shift that underscores Hyundai Motor's pivot toward future mobility.
Scheduled for completion in 2027, the plant will integrate chemical processing and assembly operations with annual production capacity of 30,000 fuel cell units. The facility will operate under Hyundai Motor Group's hydrogen brand and business platform HTWO brand, which symbolizes 'Hydrogen for Humanity.'
The plant represents an investment of KRW 930 billion and will produce next-generation hydrogen fuel cells and electrolyzers for various mobility applications including passenger vehicles, commercial trucks and buses, construction equipment and marine vessels.
