近日，现代汽车和起亚在韩国麻浦环保研发中心（Mabuk Eco-Friendly R&D Center）与 W. L. Gore & Associates（戈尔公司）签订协议，共同开发用于氢燃料电池系统的先进质子交换膜（PEM）。此次合作将涵盖PEM开发的各个关键领域，致力于开发出能够满足下一代商用燃料电池汽车需求的先进PEM产品。
氢燃料电池利用PEM在两个电极之间传导质子。PEM可防止通入的氢气和氧气直接结合反应，并促进质子的选择性传导，进而产生电流，驱动车辆。PEM技术在决定燃料电池的性能和使用寿命方面发挥着举足轻重的作用。
现代汽车、起亚与戈尔在燃料电池领域已有逾15年的合作经验。依托十余年来的稳定合作关系，此次合作的重点是共同开发适用于商用汽车的理想燃料电池系统，并将提升性能和延长使用寿命作为重中之重。
目前，现代汽车集团正在积极拓展全球燃料电池业务，涵盖包括乘用车、商用车、船舶、航空航天应用以及发电在内的多个不同领域。目前，现代最知名的氢燃料电池汽车是Nexo，销量虽然相对较小，但下一代车型的研发正在进行中。

Recently, Hyundai and Kia signed a joint agreement with W. L. Gore & Associates at the Mabuk Eco-Friendly R&D Center in Korea to develop advanced proton exchange membranes (PEM) for hydrogen fuel cell systems. The collaboration will cover all key areas of PEM development, aiming to develop advanced PEM products that meet the demands of next-generation commercial fuel cell vehicles.
Hydrogen fuel cells utilize PEM to conduct protons between two electrodes. PEM prevents the direct combination reaction of hydrogen and oxygen gases entering, and promotes selective conduction of protons, thereby generating current to drive the vehicle. PEM technology plays a crucial role in determining the performance and service life of fuel cells.
Hyundai, Kia, and Gore have over 15 years of experience in the fuel cell field. Building on their stable cooperative relationship, the focus of this collaboration is to jointly develop an ideal fuel cell system for commercial vehicles, with performance enhancement and extended service life as top priorities.
Currently, Hyundai Motor Group is actively expanding its global fuel cell business, covering various fields including passenger vehicles, commercial vehicles, ships, aerospace applications, and power generation. Hyundai’s most well-known hydrogen fuel cell vehicle is Nexo, whose sales may be relatively small, but the development of the next-generation model is ongoing.
