Hyundai Rotem hydrogen mobility development

Overview

Hyundai Rotem has transitioned from showcasing mobility concepts to pursuing international hydrogen-powered transit projects.

In September 2026, the company presented its next-generation high-speed train and hydrogen-powered mobility technologies at InnoTrans in Berlin. These demonstrations included a hydrogen electric tram featuring ‘physical AI’ for autonomous driving and advanced aerodynamics designed via biomimicry.

By October 2026, Hyundai Rotem moved toward international implementation by signing a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Egypt’s National Authority for Tunnels (NAT). The agreement focuses on a feasibility study for a hydrogen electric tram system in Egypt’s New Administrative Capital. The proposed project involves 44 tram sets operating on a 28km route, utilizing the company’s ‘HTWO’ hydrogen business platform to provide wire-free, zero-emission transport.
