My name is Scott Nargar.

{{00:00:07}}
I'm the Senior Manager of

{{00:00:08}}
Future Mobility and Government

{{00:00:09}}
Affairs with Hyundai

{{00:00:10}}
Motor Company Australia.

{{00:00:20}}
The advantage of hydrogen

{{00:00:21}}
is that we can use it as a

{{00:00:22}}
fuel for the future, both

{{00:00:23}}
in light vehicles, heavy

{{00:00:24}}
vehicles, rail, marine

{{00:00:26}}
and even air mobility.

{{00:00:28}}
The benefit there is that

{{00:00:29}}
we can do fast refueling and

{{00:00:30}}
we can get long distances

{{00:00:31}}
equivalent to what we do with

{{00:00:32}}
internal combustions today.

{{00:00:33}}
The benefit of a hydrogen

{{00:00:35}}
fuel cell has got

{{00:00:35}}
very few moving parts.

{{00:00:37}}
In fact, in our hydrogen

{{00:00:38}}
fuel cell stacks,

{{00:00:39}}
there's no moving parts.

{{00:00:40}}
We have 440 plates that make

{{00:00:42}}
electricity that goes through

{{00:00:43}}
and powers electric motor,

{{00:00:45}}
the same as an electric car.

{{00:00:46}}
But we store the energy

{{00:00:47}}
as hydrogen, not as

{{00:00:49}}
electricity in a battery.

{{00:00:50}}
The benefit there is there's

{{00:00:51}}
less moving parts, less

{{00:00:53}}
wear and tear, and servicing

{{00:00:54}}
and operating costs of our

{{00:00:55}}
hydrogen fuel cell passenger

{{00:00:56}}
vehicles is much lower than

{{00:00:58}}
an internal combustion engine.

{{00:00:59}}
Hydrogen fuel cells are

{{00:01:01}}
used in passenger vehicles

{{00:01:02}}
and in commercial vehicles.

{{00:01:03}}
Here at the conference today,

{{00:01:04}}
we have hydrogen fuel cell

{{00:01:06}}
nexo passenger vehicles that

{{00:01:07}}
Hyundai's had on the road

{{00:01:08}}
here in Australia since 2018.

{{00:01:10}}
In fact, the first vehicle

{{00:01:12}}
we deployed in Australia was

{{00:01:13}}
in June, 2014, and we had

{{00:01:15}}
our first hydrogen station

{{00:01:16}}
commission in December, 2014.

{{00:01:19}}
We see a big, future

{{00:01:21}}
for hydrogen fuel cells

{{00:01:22}}
in commercial vehicles.

{{00:01:24}}
Australia has a fuel security

{{00:01:26}}
problem and we can create

{{00:01:27}}
the hydrogen here and we can

{{00:01:28}}
use to propel our commercial

{{00:01:30}}
vehicles, both passenger,

{{00:01:33}}
Commercial fleets like trucks,

{{00:01:34}}
buses, trams, trains, and

{{00:01:36}}
ferries, all on fuel made here

{{00:01:38}}
with renewables in Australia.

{{00:01:40}}
Right now in Europe,

{{00:01:41}}
Hyundai's got trucks deployed

{{00:01:42}}
in Switzerland as part of

{{00:01:43}}
a a project we're doing

{{00:01:44}}
with the Swiss government

{{00:01:45}}
and also a lot of private

{{00:01:47}}
users of those trucks.

{{00:01:48}}
We've also got trucks

{{00:01:49}}
now deployed in Europe.

{{00:01:50}}
There's trucks in Israel,

{{00:01:51}}
trucks in Korea, and just

{{00:01:53}}
this year we've deployed

{{00:01:54}}
trucks into the US market

{{00:01:55}}
and they're a Class eight

{{00:01:56}}
prime mover moving Hyundai

{{00:01:58}}
parts around California.

{{00:01:59}}
We do see a big opportunity

{{00:02:01}}
here in Australia for

{{00:02:02}}
commercial vehicles, and we

{{00:02:03}}
look forward to having more

{{00:02:04}}
competition in global markets

{{00:02:06}}
for hydrogen commercial

{{00:02:07}}
vehicles to help drive the

{{00:02:08}}
transition here in Australia.

{{00:02:10}}
I think we've got some

{{00:02:11}}
work to do with the public

{{00:02:12}}
perception of hydrogen,

{{00:02:13}}
and that comes down to

{{00:02:14}}
education from government

{{00:02:16}}
industry and also the media.

{{00:02:18}}
So our job as a truck and

{{00:02:20}}
car manufacturer is get as

{{00:02:21}}
many media into the hydrogen

{{00:02:22}}
cars as possible and get

{{00:02:24}}
as many of our commercial

{{00:02:25}}
customers thinking about

{{00:02:26}}
hydrogen for the future.

{{00:02:27}}
Think about the trucks

{{00:02:28}}
they need to replace.

{{00:02:29}}
Think about the

{{00:02:30}}
infrastructure.

{{00:02:31}}
Another great one is

{{00:02:32}}
hydrogen fuel cell buses.

{{00:02:34}}
I first got to ride in a

{{00:02:35}}
hydrogen fuel cell bus about

{{00:02:36}}
10 years ago in London,

{{00:02:38}}
and it was great to hear

{{00:02:39}}
the passengers on the bus

{{00:02:40}}
talk about the hydrogen

{{00:02:42}}
bus they're riding on.

{{00:02:43}}
And it was quite incredible

{{00:02:44}}
to talk to the drivers

{{00:02:45}}
about their experience.

{{00:02:46}}
And I think we need to

{{00:02:47}}
start that transition in

{{00:02:48}}
Australia, and get hydrogen

{{00:02:50}}
fuel saw buses on the

{{00:02:51}}
market to help justify the

{{00:02:53}}
cost of infrastructure.

{{00:02:54}}
A car use six and a

{{00:02:56}}
half kilos once a week

{{00:02:57}}
or once a fortnight.

{{00:02:58}}
A bus or a truck will use

{{00:03:00}}
30, 40, 50 kilos a day.

{{00:03:03}}
So we're gonna work hard

{{00:03:04}}
with our partners in the

{{00:03:05}}
industry to get as many

{{00:03:06}}
pieces of infrastructure we

{{00:03:08}}
can going and that's gonna

{{00:03:10}}
be driven by the deployment

{{00:03:11}}
of commercial vehicles and

{{00:03:12}}
passenger cars will be the

{{00:03:13}}
feeder off the back of that.

{{00:03:15}}
We can see the growth in

{{00:03:16}}
hydrogen to continue here

{{00:03:17}}
in Australia and around the

{{00:03:18}}
world as a feel for the future

{{00:03:20}}
as markets around the world

{{00:03:23}}
decarbonize their fleets,

{{00:03:24}}
and emission regulation

{{00:03:25}}
cuts in around the world.

{{00:03:26}}
We're gonna see a greater

{{00:03:27}}
use of zero emission vehicles

{{00:03:29}}
battery electric for lighter

{{00:03:30}}
vehicles like passenger cars,

{{00:03:32}}
small trucks and small buses.

{{00:03:33}}
But hydrogen and fuel sell

{{00:03:34}}
for that heavy commercial

{{00:03:35}}
transport in both road

{{00:03:37}}
rail, marine and air.

{{00:03:38}}
So we're gonna work hard

{{00:03:39}}
with our, our government

{{00:03:41}}
partners around Australia,

{{00:03:42}}
both federal and state, and

{{00:03:43}}
also our industry partners.

{{00:03:44}}
To help drive the awareness,

{{00:03:46}}
of the technology.

{{00:03:47}}
And one of the big things

{{00:03:48}}
from a Hyundai Sense is

{{00:03:50}}
we need good competitors

{{00:03:51}}
here in the market.

{{00:03:52}}
We encourage more

{{00:03:52}}
competitors here for both

{{00:03:54}}
past new cars and trucks.

{{00:03:56}}
That drives awareness

{{00:03:57}}
of the technology.

{{00:03:58}}
It drives consideration

{{00:03:59}}
to purchase, which then

{{00:04:00}}
helps with supportive

{{00:04:01}}
policy from government.

{{00:04:02}}
And that also

{{00:04:03}}
drives investment in

{{00:04:04}}
infrastructure, which is key.

{{00:04:06}}
We can't do anything if we

{{00:04:07}}
can't refill the vehicles.

{{00:04:08}}
So we wanna work with all

{{00:04:09}}
of our partners in the value

{{00:04:11}}
chain to make this a reality.
