<P style="MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt; mso-line-height-alt: 0pt"><SPAN style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Verdana','sans-serif'"><FONT color=#000000>What if you have a futuristic car that runs on fuel cell energy, instead of fossil fuels such as gasoline and diesel, and that makes no noise? Hyundai Motor has succeeded in developing such a vehicle. Its hydrogen fuel cell car can run 594 km per battery charge. But there still is a long way to go for ordinary people to drive it due to its high price.<BR><BR>However, developing a futuristic car is one thing, but making it cheap enough for anyone to buy is another. Just like its catchphrase “Let’s turn yesterday’s dream into today’s reality,” Hyundai’s Ulsan </FONT><A href="xxxxxxjavascript:void(0);"><SPAN style="COLOR: #006699">plant</SPAN></A><FONT color=#000000> began developing a hydrogen </FONT><A href="xxxxxxjavascript:void(0);"><SPAN style="COLOR: #006699">fuel cell</SPAN></A><FONT color=#000000> vehicle in 1998 in a bid to develop eco-friendly futuristic vehicles. After many twists and turns and ups and downs, Hyundai succeeded in building a </FONT><A href="xxxxxxjavascript:void(0);"><SPAN style="COLOR: #006699">mass-production</SPAN></A><FONT color=#000000> system for </FONT><A href="xxxxxxjavascript:void(0);"><SPAN style="COLOR: #006699">hydrogen</SPAN></A><FONT color=#000000> fuel cell cars this year for the first time in the world. It now has an </FONT><A href="xxxxxxjavascript:void(0);"><SPAN style="COLOR: #006699">annual</SPAN></A><FONT color=#000000> </FONT><A href="xxxxxxjavascript:void(0);"><SPAN style="COLOR: #006699">production capacity</SPAN></A><FONT color=#000000> of 1,000 Tucson hydrogen vehicles. But the automaker still faces one or two more barriers before it can mass-produce the vehicle for ordinary customers.<BR><BR>Firstly, the hydrogen fuel cell “stack” is still too big. Secondly, the hydrogen car is extremely expensive at more than W150 million because only a limited number of them are now being produced. Hyundai hopes it can mass-produce the car around 2020, when it achieves the </FONT><A href="xxxxxxjavascript:void(0);"><SPAN style="COLOR: #006699">commercial viability</SPAN></A><FONT color=#000000> of the hydrogen car. Another minor issue is how to have as many hydrogen gas filling stations as possible built around the country. </FONT><A href="xxxxxxjavascript:void(0);"><SPAN style="COLOR: #006699">Industry insiders</SPAN></A><FONT color=#000000> expect the price of the hydrogen fuel cell car to drop to less than 120 percent of that of a </FONT><A href="xxxxxxjavascript:void(0);"><SPAN style="COLOR: #006699">gasoline-powered vehicle</SPAN></A><FONT color=#000000> by 2020. Meanwhile, Hyundai’s Tucson ix35 FCEV won the “Car of the Future” award at the Brussels Motor Show held in January.</FONT></SPAN></P>
