“The i-Blue is Hyundai’s first-ever model designed from the ground up to incorporate fuel-cell technology,” said Dr Hyun-Soon Lee, Hyundai president of research and development.

“Our engineering team has successfully designed a more compact fuel-cell vehicle, while still realising the safety, comfort, convenience and driving range of a traditional internal combustion engine vehicle.”

Mass production could start within the next 10 years.
