Globally, the Hyundai Nexo is made available with a 120kW motor generating power worth 163PS (161bhp) and 395Nm of torque. While the global model delivers a range of 800km, the India-spec version will be able to cover 1,000km. It can accelerate 0 to 100kmph in 9.2 seconds. Compared to the electric motor, the fuel cell unit is lighter and considered as one of the most eco-friendly or greener powertrains in the world.
With an aim to encourage green mobility solutions, the Indian government has reduced the GST rate on hydrogen-powered vehicles from 28% to 12%. Hyundai aims to introduce 18 eco-friendly models globally by 2025 and Nexo will be among them.
