  According to Hyundai Newsroom (2018), car emissions significantly impact air quality in urban areas. In response, the automotive industry is striving to create a cleaner environment through the development of eco-friendly vehicles. This effort is evident in Singapore, which has increasingly incentivized and subsidized consumers to transition to electric vehicles (EVs) over the past decade. Supporting this shift, DataCommons (2020) reports that Singapore’s carbon emissions were 7.69 metric tons in 2020. Additionally, 33% of households in Singapore own a four-wheeled private vehicle, which is equivalent to nearly one in three residents, despite a 40% decrease in vehicle ownership since 2014 (Loi, 2023). This trend suggests that vehicle ownership may rise further due to Singapore’s growing GDP and increasing demand for private transportation. Hydrogen fuel cells, a key technology in eco-friendly vehicles, generate electricity through a chemical reaction between hydrogen and oxy...

  According to Hyundai Newsroom's website, "Car emissions are one of the main forms of pollution affecting air quality in cities and towns. The automotive industry is aiming to help create a cleaner environment through eco-friendly vehicles." (Hyundai, 2018). The statistic websiteData Comms mentioned that Singapore clocked in at 7.69 metric tons of carbon emission in the year 2020 (Data Commons, 2020). This increasing statistic proves the need of a more viable and sustainable source of propellent.   Hyundai's Fuel Cell Technology stand out amongst it's competitors. Firstly, what is the difference between electrical powered vehicles compared to hydrogen-powered vehicles? According to GraniteHyundai, Hydrogen is combined with oxygen to create electricity. Compressed hydrogen gas is forced through a fuel cell stack that transforms that chemical energy into electrical energy. When electricity is created this way, instead of harmful chemicals being produced, water vapo...
