HD Hyundai Infracore has taken a major step toward cleaner construction machinery by launching real-world validation of its 11-liter hydrogen combustion engine, known as the HX12. The engine, now mounted on a 38-ton excavator, is being tested under actual working conditions — a historic first in the global heavy equipment industry.
The goal of this project is ambitious yet clear: to achieve diesel-like performance without carbon emissions. Hyundai’s hydrogen engine promises the same torque, endurance, and operational reliability as traditional diesel power systems while eliminating greenhouse gas output. The validation process will assess power delivery, durability, and fuel efficiency, paving the way for future commercial deployment across construction and industrial sectors.
This development represents a significant leap in sustainable engineering. While electric solutions are gaining ground, hydrogen engines offer a more practical option for large-scale, high-power machines such as excavators, loaders, and dozers. Unlike battery systems, hydrogen power allows for rapid refueling and extended working hours, ideal for continuous operation in harsh environments.
For construction professionals and equipment owners, innovations like Hyundai’s hydrogen engine mark the beginning of a new age — one where performance no longer comes at the expense of the environment. However, advanced engines alone do not guarantee efficiency. A reliable undercarriage system remains essential for stability, traction, and long-term performance.
That’s where Fulian comes in.
