Intelligent Energy, Hogreen Air, and South Korea’s largest manufacturer of electric buses and trucks Edison Motors sign MOU for hydrogen fuel cell technology.
UK fuel cell manufacturer Intelligent Energy (IE), South Korean partner Hogreen Air, and South Korea’s largest manufacturer of electric buses and trucks Edison Motors sign MOU for fuel cell technology.
During the H2World 2021 conference in Ulsan, South Korea, a memorandum of understanding (MOU) was signed by Jun-seong Weon (Director, Edison), Greg Harris (Sales Director, IE) and Seong-ho Hong Hong (CEO, Hogreen Air) at the stand of the British Embassy, Seoul.
The MOU between the three parties aims to expand the hydrogen fuel cell market for motive applications in South Korea and shows the cooperation between the three companies to focus on integrating Intelligent Energy’s fuel cells into a range of Edison vehicles and supporting Hogreen Air’s collaboration with Edison Motors on unmanned aerial vehicles.
South Korea leads the world in the number of hydrogen fuel cell vehicles on the road and is also increasing the number of hydrogen refuelling stations faster than any other country. With favourable policies supporting the use of hydrogen and fuel cells, South Korea is one of the most exciting locations to deploy fuel cell vehicles.

Mr Mike Freer MP, the UK’s Minister for Exports said:
I spent last week in Korea promoting the opportunities for collaboration which exist in renewable energy.
“I am delighted, therefore, to hear of this exciting agreement between Intelligent Energy, Edison Motors and Hogreen Air.”
Mike Welch, Country Director for Trade and Investment, British Embassy Seoul said:
We have been working closely with Intelligent Energy now for over a year, helping them to grow their business in South Korea.
“This agreement represents a great, green leap forward for each of the companies and we wish them every success as they develop their collaboration even further.”
Greg Harris, Sales Director from Intelligent Energy said:
IE is very proud to be co-operating with such an ambitious and innovative company as Edison Motors.
“The recently confirmed acquisition of SsangYong Motors demonstrates the scale of that ambition, and we look forward to bringing our high-power fuel cell technology to Edison’s growing vehicle range. It’s also great to further expand our existing relationship with Hogreen Air, building on our existing programmes for fuel cell drones and UPS systems.”
Seong-ho Hong, CEO of Hogreen Air said:
We will try our best to be a leader in developing next-generation eco-friendly mobility through this partnership with Intelligent Energy, a world fuel cell engineering company and Edison Motors, an electric vehicle powerhouse.
Jun-seong Weon, Director of Edison Motors said:
I hope the partnership between the three companies this time makes good results in various motive industries and contributions to the development of hydrogen industry in South Korea.
