The Future Battlefield Powered by Kia Special Vehicle Hydrogen Solution

Leveraging Hyundai Motor Group’s leadership in hydrogen mobility, Kia Special Vehicle Division is driving the development of advanced military hydrogen solutions. From production and power conversion to field deployment, we are building a full-spectrum military hydrogen ecosystem to support next-generation operational readiness.

Hydrogen production : On-site or mobile hydrogen generation systems for operational independence. > Hydrogen transport : Secure and scalable logistics for delivering hydrogen to remote or tactical zones. > Hydrogen refueling : Rapid-deployment refueling infrastructure optimized for field conditions. > Hydrogen vehicle operation : Silent, efficient, and low-signature vehicle systems for mission-ready mobility.
  • Hydrogen production

    On-site or mobile hydrogen generation systems for operational independence.

  • Hydrogen transport

    Secure and scalable logistics for delivering hydrogen to remote or tactical zones.

  • Hydrogen refueling

    Rapid-deployment refueling infrastructure optimized for field conditions.

  • Hydrogen vehicle operation

    Silent, efficient, and low-signature vehicle systems for mission-ready mobility.

Kia Special Vehicle Division is developing hydrogen-powered military vehicles in line with the armed forces’ shift from internal combustion engines to eco-friendly powertrains.The hydrogen ATV, powered by fuel cells, produces lower heat and noise than traditional vehicles, reducing detection risk while ensuring swift and secure military mobility.

we are developing a Rescue Hydrogen Generator Vehicle by integrating a hydrogen power module into the light tactical vehicle platform. This vehicle is designed to provide rapid and reliable power supply in emergency situations such as disasters and accidents, as well as in remote or rugged locations.
