“Together with Hyundai, we have been able to help make hydrogen mobility a reality in Germany,” declared Sara Schiffer, Managing Director of Hylane. “They have proven to be a convincing option thanks to their reliability and pleasant driving experience. They not only enable our users to make their transportation more environmentally friendly, but also offer them the opportunity to gain valuable experience with this promising technology at an early stage.” Hyundai and Hylane have been collaborating for quite a long time now.
