Hyundai delivers first Nexo in California

Hyundai has delivered its first Nexo fuel cell vehicle to a former scientist eager to add the benefits of this zero-emissions vehicle to his environmentally-friendly lifestyle.

Customer Todd Hochrad of Ventura, California has become the first American customer to drive off in the new Nexo, the only mass-produced fuel cell SUV for the U.S.A market, boasting a range up to 612km. Nexo is the new technological flagship of Hyundai's growing eco-vehicle portfolio and marks Hyundai's continued commitment and momentum with the industry's most diverse SUV lineup.

Mr. Hochrad isn't the typical automotive buyer, yet he's the sort of customer looking to drive a zero-emissions, hydrogen-powered vehicle. More than 15 years ago, he purchased his first hybrid car and over the years has driven dedicated electric vehicles as well. His new Nexo will deliver about five times the driving range of his first all-electric car.
