The [Hyundai](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hyundai-staria-electric) H350 Fuel Cell Concept is an innovative and eco-friendly reinterpretation of a commercial van idea initially introduced last year. This particular vehicle comes equipped with a number of floor tanks that are capable of holding up to 7 kg of [hydrogen](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hydrogen-cartridges). This system allows for the generation of electrons and protons that can be stored in the battery mechanism, allowing the vehicle the ability to travel up to 422 km on just a single tank.

The vehicle also offers significant cargo room in the region of 10.5 cubed meters, while the passenger configuration of the fan includes more than a dozen seats.

This particular concept van features more than double the range of [regular electric commercial vans](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/evolv-elm-mobility). This alone gives Hyundai a massive advantage in a market where convenience and time are paramount.
