Abstract

Fuel cell vehicles, which are driven by electrical power generated from hydrogen fuel, are becoming a 'hot potato' in the automotive industry. It is now well known that the crude oil supply will run out in about forty years and the earth needs a different type of energy resource that can last indefinitely. 'Hydrogen era' is expected to begin in the 2020's, and the biggest market for hydrogen fuel cells will certainly be the auto industry. However, the cost of the fuel cell vehicle or the individual parts is far from being realistic from a mass production standpoint. Every major auto maker is trying to reduce the cost and enhance manufacturability, and we are about to see the promising outcome. Hyundai-Kia Motors has the largest fuel cell research center in Korea and it has developed several different types of FCVs since its first launch of Santa Fe FCV in 2000. In this paper, we present the basic principles of fuel cells and the history of fuel cell vehicles. In addition, the status of FCV development at Hyundai-Kia Motors are introduced. Verification programs sponsored by Korean and American governments are presented to show how actively we are collaborating with other fuel cell-related companies in order to make FCVs commercially available.

现代起亚汽车的燃料电池汽车开发

以氢燃料为动力的燃料电池汽车正在成为汽车行业的“烫手山芋”。众所周知，原油供应将在大约40年后耗尽，地球需要一种可以无限期持续的不同类型的能源。“氢时代”预计将在2020年开始，氢燃料电池的最大市场肯定是汽车行业。然而，从大规模生产的角度来看，燃料电池汽车或单个部件的成本远不现实。各大汽车制造商都在努力降低成本，提高可制造性，我们即将看到有希望的结果。现代起亚汽车拥有国内最大的燃料电池研究中心，自2000年首次推出圣达菲FCV以来，开发了多种不同类型的FCV。本文介绍了燃料电池的基本原理和燃料电池汽车的发展历史。此外，还介绍了现代起亚汽车FCV的发展现状。报告介绍了由韩国和美国政府赞助的验证项目，以展示我们如何积极地与其他燃料电池相关公司合作，以使燃料电池汽车商业化。
