Currently the country has no hydrogen based vehicles on sale regarding which Hyundai mentioned that they’ll bring in their Nexo fuel cell car for conducting a study regarding the same but without proper fueling systems as it is not going to be a commercial launch by the company. The Nexo which was showcased earlier showed that it just takes 5 minutes to fill the hydrogen fuel tank and it offers a range of 600 km with a full fuel tank.

Vehicles based on hydrogen fueling are considered to be the cleanest of all as water is the prominent component here.
