Hyundai readies hydrogen concept for Frankfurt

SEOUL -- Hyundai Motor Co. plans to introduce an all-new hydrogen-powered crossover concept at the Frankfurt IAA in September.

The i-Blue runs on Hyundai's third-generation hydrogen cell technology. The concept sits on a new car-based crossover platform as opposed to past hydrogen experiments based on SUV platforms.

The crossover was developed at a Hyundai technical center in Chiba, Japan.

At the IAA, Hyundai also plans to display the wagon version of its i30 hatchback and the Veloster roadster concept. Both appeared earlier this year at the Seoul auto show.
