Hyundai's first mass-produced Tucson Fuel Cell CUVs arrive in Southern California

Hyundai's Tucson Fuel Cell CUVs began rolling onto US soil, marking the first delivery of a mass-produced fuel cell vehicle for the US market. The first retail sale of the Tucson Fuel Cell is expected within the next several weeks in Southern California.

Under the Hyundai
leasing program, approved lessees can drive Hyundai's next-generation Tucson Fuel Cell for just US$ 499 per month, including unlimited free hydrogen refueling and 'At Your Service' valet maintenance at no extra cost. For the first time, retail consumers can now put a mass-produced, federally-certified hydrogen fuel cell vehicle in their driveways, with availability at three select southern California Hyundai dealers - Tustin Hyundai, Win Hyundai in Carson, and Hardin Hyundai in Anaheim.

"Hydrogen-powered fuel cell vehicles represent the next-generation of zero-emission electric vehicle technology, and we're proud of our leadership role in this important segment of the alternative fuel vehicle market," said Mike O'Brien, Vice-President, Corporate and Product Planning, Hyundai Motor America. "The range and refueling time of our Tucson Fuel Cell compare favorably with gasoline vehicles, making them a seamless transition from traditional gasoline-powered vehicles. We're excited to provide customers in Southern California a way to transition to a zero-emission vehicle with minimal compromises."
