Hyundai is planning on getting its Nexo fuel-cell vehicle in India. This can be from GST council’s decision to cut down duties on the hydrogen-powered vehicles by 16 percent last week – from 28 to 12 percent – reports have started emerging on the internet saying that mainstream global automakers are trying to leverage this opportunity and exploit the potential for clean energy services.
The Hyundai Nexo is a fairly new car which went on sale in South Korea in March this year. It is Hyundai’s flagship model in its eco-friendly portfolio. The Nexo comes with a combination of an electric motor and a fuel-cell, both of which give out zero emissions. The total power output is a whopping 160.77 hp and 395 Nm of torque which gives the car a 0-100 km/hr time of 9.5 seconds.
In terms of features, the Nexo gets auto flush door handles which will only come out when you need them. There’s a 12.3-inch touch infotainment system, a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster, LED headlamps and taillights, lane follow and highway driver assists, blind-spot view monitor and remote parking assist. The Nexo even cleans the air using its humidifier, air-filter and the full-stack used for power generation which is unlike the combustion engine cars that pollute the air on the move. The car is even capable of powering a mobile camper.
