Hyundai Motor, Kia Corporation and W. L. Gore & Associates (Gore) have signed an agreement at the Mabuk Eco-Friendly R&D Center in Korea to collaborate on the development of advanced polymer electrolyte membrane (PEM) for hydrogen fuel cell systems. The goal is to develop an advanced PEM for next-generation fuel cell electric commercial vehicles.

A hydrogen fuel cell utilizes PEM to conduct protons between two electrodes. The PEM blocks the direct combination of incoming hydrogen and oxygen gases, facilitating the selective conduction of protons and, in turn, generating an electrical current to power a vehicle.
