Europe has ambitious hydrogen plans, and we bring experience from successful deployments that can help turn these plans into robust ecosystems. Hyundai Motor Group has accumulated extensive real-world experience with hydrogen across the entire value chain in Korea. We now want to bring this system-level expertise to Europe, with proven technologies, industry-leading expertise, and the willingness to build lasting relationships with policymakers, industry, and infrastructure partners." – Mark Freymüller, CEO of Hyundai Energy & Hydrogen Europe.

In Europe, the Group is widely recognized for its pioneering role in hydrogen mobility, particularly through the NEXO FCEV and the XCIENT Fuel Cell truck. At the Summit, the Group builds on this strong heritage to outline a broader ambition: to develop sustainable hydrogen ecosystems in collaboration with European partners across sectors, underscoring its long-term commitment to the region.
