Hyundai Nexo hydrogen car sets distance record from Melbourne to Broken Hill, comes back on a trailer

A Hyundai Nexo hydrogen car has driven from Melbourne to Broken Hill – emitting only water vapour from its tailpipe – to set an unofficial long distance record. The total distance travelled was 887.5km – according to the car’s odometer – which eclipsed the previous hydrogen car driving distance record of 778km set in 2019 by French aeronaut Bertrand Piccard, also at the wheel of a Hyundai Nexo. In both cases the vehicles eclipsed the Hyundai Nexo's claimed maximum driving range of 666km.
