Twenty MOUs are signed between the South Korean and French governments during Park’s state visit, calling for technological cooperation in such areas as renewable clean energy and autonomous vehicles.
South Korea President Park Geun-hye gives a boost to Hyundai's Tucson Fuel Cell Vehicle programme, paying a visit over the weekend to hydrogen-fuel supplier Air Liquide in Grenoble, France.
Park inspects a helium and hydrogen liquefaction facility and a hydrogen recharging station for fuel-cell vehicles during her stay.
She also examined a Hyundai Tucson Fuel Cell taxi and personally refuels it at the station. The process takes only four minutes, giving the vehicle enough hydrogen to travel 373 miles (600 km).
In lockstep with her visit, Hyundai President Chung Jin-haeng and Senior Vice President Lee Ki-sang, who oversees the automaker’s alternative-vehicle development, sign a memorandum of understanding with Air Liquide Chairman and CEO Benoit Potier and President Pierre-Etienne Franc in Grenoble.
