Ted Lee, Hyundai Australia’s CEO, reflected on Hyundai’s involvement in the ACT Government’s hydrogen station project in 2021 and expressed excitement about collaborating with experienced partner companies to contribute to a cleaner and greener transport future.
Jamie Cullen, Chief Executive Officer of Pacific Energy, expressed the company’s commitment to decarbonising the transportation sector and advancing Australia’s hydrogen ecosystem in collaboration with like-minded organisations.
Matthew Callachor, President and CEO of Toyota Australia, highlighted Toyota’s ongoing efforts to expand its hydrogen capabilities in Australia, including local trials of the Mirai FCEV sedan and the establishment of a hydrogen production and refuelling facility in Victoria.
