Hyundai is developing a new Hydrogen Powered SUV

It's no secret that Hyundai has plans for hydrogen-powered vehicles beyond the currently available Tucson Fuel Cell. Ever since the debut of the Intrado concept at the Geneva Motor Show in early 2014, Hyundai has been dropping hints about what the new big-ish H2 vehicle will offer. 

The second-generation hydrogen fuel cell cars are set to debut in February 2018, when South Korea's alpine city of Pyeong Chang hosts the Winter Olympics, the carmaker said. The move is aimed at, among other things, promoting Hyundai's technological prowess to foreign reporters, who will visit South Korea to cover the Winter Olympics.

Hyundai become the first carmaker in the world to mass produce a hydrogen-powered car in 2013. Currently, Hyundai's hydrogen-powered car can travel more than 400 kilometers on a single charge. A fuel cell car emits only water vapor as it converts stored hydrogen into electricity, which turns the vehicle's motor. Hyundai Motor said it has sold a total of 503 units of the Tucson fuel cell vehicles, including 26 units in Norway.  

With the Intrado concept, Hyundai said it was, "far more than a styling exercise." We've since heard that Hyundai believes that a CUV/SUV model offers the best option for customers buying a fuel cell vehicle. The Intrado concept had a supposed range of around 375 miles. 

What that would translate to outside of the fictional auto show universe is unknown, but it sounds like Hyundai is ready to make all of this more real.
