Hyundai Motor Group’s TWO Guangzhou, which is the first overseas fuel cell system production base, signed an MoU with Air Liquide China when it comes to hydrogen mobility in China.
As per the MoU, the two companies will explore collaboration throughout the hydrogen mobility value chain.
HTWO Guangzhou will offer the hydrogen fuel cell system technology, whereas Air Liquide China will share its knowledge in hydrogen production, transportation, storage, and infrastructure construction.
They intend to collaborate with other hydrogen industry ecosystem participants on an integrated demonstration model linking vehicle transport, charging facilities, and also the supply of hydrogen.
Choi Doo-ha, HTWO Guangzhou general manager, said, “Through this collaboration, we plan to explore a hydrogen value chain business model that links vehicle transportation, charging infrastructure, and hydrogen supply and contribute to the Chinese hydrogen mobility industry.”
The organizations will also evaluate operating models connecting the hydrogen supply with the installation of hydrogen commercial vehicles across the logistics hubs and trunk routes, the statement’s translated version said.
The partnership will also aim to continue to develop solutions to enhance the economic viability of hydrogen mobility in China, which will include lowering the total cost of ownership.
The companies aim to determine business models appropriate for the country’s market for hydrogen commercial vehicles and to encourage the utilization of these types of vehicles in its logistics sector.
It is well to be noted that HTWO Guangzhou is engaged in research and development, manufacturing, and sales of hydrogen fuel cells.
It is creating products for the hydrogen commercial vehicle market of China and is also expanding into hydrogen logistics and commercial vehicles.
Air Liquide China manufactures, stores, and ships hydrogen and establishes hydrogen infrastructure in the country, which includes the fabrication, setup, and regular operation of refueling stations.
Since 2018, Hyundai Motor Group and Air Liquide have been collaborating on hydrogen-related subjects such as hydrogen as a clean energy source, hydrogen electric vehicles, and refueling station company models.
Chen Xing, Air Liquide China deputy general manager, said, “We look forward to combining each company’s strengths to expand cooperation in various fields, such as hydrogen logistics and vehicle demonstration, and to seeking hydrogen mobility solutions that are economical and sustainable to contribute to the eco-friendly transition of China’s transportation sector.”
The group launched HTWO in Japan earlier in March 2026 in fulfillment of its ambition to establish itself as the world’s leading supplier of end-to-end hydrogen-based solutions.
