HTWO Guangzhou, Hyundai Motor Group’s first overseas production and sales hub for hydrogen fuel cell systems, will work with Air Liquide (China) Holding Co., Ltd. to explore business opportunities in China’s hydrogen mobility sector.

HTWO Guangzhou announced on November 9 that the two companies had signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) on November 6 at the 9th China International Import Expo (CIIE) in Shanghai. The partnership will combine HTWO Guangzhou’s hydrogen fuel cell system technology with Air Liquide China’s capabilities in hydrogen production, storage, transportation and infrastructure development, supporting cooperation across the hydrogen mobility value chain.

The companies will initially test operating models that integrate hydrogen supply with hydrogen-powered commercial vehicle operations in real-world settings, including logistics hubs and long-haul freight transport. They aim to improve the economics of hydrogen mobility, including by reducing total cost of ownership (TCO), and identify commercially viable business models tailored to the Chinese market. The partners will also discuss specific applications and cooperation plans with other industry stakeholders.

“HTWO Guangzhou is drawing on its R&D and manufacturing capabilities in hydrogen fuel cell systems to accelerate their adoption in China’s commercial vehicle market,” said Choi Du-ha, general manager of HTWO Guangzhou.

“Through this partnership, we will explore an integrated business model linking vehicle operations, hydrogen refuelling infrastructure and hydrogen supply, contributing to the development of China’s hydrogen mobility sector.”
