Hyundai NEXO Hydrogen Electric Cars Deployed to Qld Gov Fleet

Hyundai has put 5 zero-emissions NEXO hydrogen fuel-cell electric cars into the Queensland government fleet.

The NEXO fleet launch was on Saturday (21 August) at the GABBA in Brisbane, with Minister for Energy, Renewables and Hydrogen, Mick de Brenni, and the Hyundai-sponsored Brisbane Lions present in support of the QLD hydrogen revolution, ahead of the final-round AFL clash.

The NEXO fleet has an eye-popping Indigenous-inspired wrap with a hydrogen nucleus and the Brisbane River (Maiwar), created by Brisbane-based Indigenous-owned creative company Iscariot Media.

A Brisbane hydrogen station is added to stations in Canberra and Melbourne, and of course Australia’s first hydrogen refuelling station at the Hyundai Motor Company headquarters in Sydney.

The NEXO SUV Australia’s first hydrogen-powered car, and the five QLD join 20 NEXOs for the ACT government and emergency services fleet.

Hyundai, and other parties, are working towards Australia’s National Hydrogen Strategy, to make Australia leader of the global hydrogen industry by 2030.

Hyundai Motor Company Australia Chief Executive Officer, Jun Heo said Hyundai is proud to see its advanced hydrogen technology deployed into the Queensland government fleet as another step towards a clean motoring future.

“We congratulate the Queensland Government for its vision and advanced policy as the state moves toward a zero-emissions future with hydrogen as a key component,” Mr. Heo said.

“The zero-emissions NEXO is a cornerstone in our green vehicle line-up, and joins hybrid, plug-in hybrid and pure electric models to underscore our leadership in eco-mobility and our commitment to developing sustainable motoring solutions.”

Minister for Energy, Renewables and Hydrogen, Mick de Brenni said the NEXO fleet will demonstrate the potential of Hyundai’s leading-edge technology with the aim of increasing the uptake of hydrogen as a clean energy source.

“This trial aims to accelerate the uptake of hydrogen technology and support Queensland’s push to position itself as a global hydrogen superpower,” Minister de Brenni said.

“It will demonstrate the effectiveness and efficiency of hydrogen for passenger vehicles and possibly lead the way for hydrogen’s roll-out to trucks, trains and marine applications.

“These head-turning fuel cell electric vehicles will be fuelled with home-grown Queensland hydrogen as they are tested in on-road conditions over the next three years,” he said.

“Leasing them as part of our trial of fuel cell electric vehicle technology highlights the fact that QFleet – the government’s fleet manager – continues to drive Queensland’s transition to cleaner and greener transport options.

“This, in turn, helps grow our local hydrogen supply chain and that means more jobs for Queenslanders in this emerging sector.

“It means jobs sourcing raw materials for clean hydrogen production and manufacturing state-of-the-art technology, right through to exporting this green energy to an increasingly hydrogen-hungry world market.”
