Hyundai, Georgia Tech build hydrogen mobility hub

Hyundai Motor Group and the Georgia Institute of Technology have agreed an expanded multi-year partnership on hydrogen mobility, with Hyundai Motor North America donating four Hyundai Nexo fuel cell electric SUVs to the Atlanta campus. Hyundai Motor Group will also donate a hydrogen electrolyzer project to be installed at Georgia Tech’s North Avenue Research Area for campus use.

The vehicles and infrastructure will support campus operations and interdisciplinary research at Georgia Tech, covering hydrogen-based mobility systems, energy integration, sustainability and the public policy implications of hydrogen adoption. The Group says project insights will help inform broader rollout in campuses, fleets, cities and freight corridors.

In a statement, Ángel Cabrera, President of the Georgia Institute of Technology, said: “Georgia Tech has a long history of working with industry to move breakthrough technologies from the lab into the real world. By expanding our work with Hyundai, we’re advancing hydrogen research, reducing emissions on our campus, and strengthening Georgia’s role in the future of clean mobility.”

The partnership sits alongside Hyundai’s expanding presence in Georgia, which also hosts Hyundai Motor Group Metaplant America and the Htwo Logistics fuel cell freight operation near Savannah. The research relationship will also extend to autonomous driving, EV batteries, charging infrastructure, materials science and cybersecurity.
