Hyundai’s latest hydrogen-powered vehicle is the NEXO, a versatile crossover that runs on nature’s lightest element and emits only water. It may be squeaky clean, but in reality, how safe is this gaseous fuel?
The idea of crashing a vehicle like this brings to mind visions of the Hindenburg, Nazi Germany’s rigid airship that crumpled to the ground in a pall of flames back in 1936. Despite this tragedy and public-relations black eye for hydrogen, it could actually be a safer vehicle fuel than gasoline.
