Hyundai Motors today delivered 50 units of ix35 Fuel Cell to The
Launched by a newly founded subsidiary Linde Hydrogen Concepts³ of The Linde Group, BeeZero synergizes the two mobility trends of car sharing and zero emissions.
“Hydrogen technology can be a substantial part of future mobility,” said Dr. Christian Bruch, member of the Executive Board of Linde AG. “Together with our customers, we want to gain practical insights in day-to-day operations and jointly build this future. We expect BeeZero to stimulate both the further development of our hydrogen technologies as well as a hydrogen infrastructure build-up.”
The BeeZero car sharing service will operate on a zone-based model. Fifty units of ix35 Fuel Cell will be available in Munich’s city center and also in different areas of Munich. As with conventional car sharing services, the cars can be easily booked online or via a smartphone app.
The Hyundai ix35 Fuel Cell can travel about 600 kilometers on a single tank, making it ideal for not only short trips within the city but also longer journeys to lakes or mountains.
Hydrogen fuel for BeeZero is sourced from sustainable production processes.
The ix35 Fuel Cell is the world's first mass-produced and commercially available fuel cell electric vehicle (FCEV). Currently, there are more than 250 units of Hyundai ix35 Fuel Cell on European roads in 13 countries. That is more than all FCEVs of other manufacturers combined. Going forward, Hyundai Motor will launch the eco-friendly dedicated model IONIQ in Europe, introducing the world’s first car to offer hybrid, plug-in hybrid and all-electric powertrains in a single body type.
