Hanon Systems, a subsidiary of Hankook & Company Group headquartered in Daejeon, South Korea and a leading global provider of automotive thermal management solutions with 39-plus manufacturing sites across 19 countries, has supplied critical fuel cell electric vehicle (FCEV) components since supporting the world's first mass-produced hydrogen fuel cell electric vehicle from Hyundai Motor Group. The company's centrifugal air compressor for FCEVs delivers pressurized air to the fuel cell stack for high-efficiency power generation, featuring mass-production air foil bearing technology, a high-speed brushless DC motor with concentric winding and divided core, and optimized impeller/rotor designs for reduced NVH -- this technology earned Hanon Systems a 2016 Automotive News PACE Award finalist recognition for enabling clean pressurized air delivery to create the hydrogen chemical reaction that generates vehicle propulsion power. Hanon Systems' FCEV thermal management portfolio also includes a turbine air compressor for commercial vehicles that utilizes waste energy to enhance efficiency, a water-cooled component that lowers fuel cell stack exhaust air temperature to protect the humidifier from overheating, and a compact End-Cell Heater using film heating technology to directly warm the fuel cell stack, remove ice and water from the flow path, and prevent blockages during cold-weather warm-up. Having declared carbon neutrality goals for 2040 and net-zero by 2050, Hanon Systems continues developing integrated thermal management systems that combine hydrogen tanks, fuel cell coolant lines, and refrigerant circuits into unified architectures optimizing the efficiency of hydrogen-powered vehicle platforms.
