Volkswagen's (VLKAY) Audi Collaborates With Hyundai for FCEV
Read MoreHide Full Article
Volkswagen AG’s Audi AG has agreed on a deal with Hyundai Motor Company to develop fuel-cell technology. Subject to approval from regulatory authorities, both the companies will team up to develop hydrogen vehicle technology to facilitate volume production in a quicker and efficient way.
Further, in order to develop this sustainable energy solution, both the companies are exploring other extensive collaborations. Under this collaboration, the two companies can share non-competitive components and access each other's intellectual property to develop fuel cells for vehicles.
For Volkswagen Group, world's largest auto seller, Audi is responsible for developing hydrogen fuel-cell technology. Per its strategy for fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEVs), Audi is collaborating with companies to develop this sustainable technology at lucrative costs.
The capacity to cover longer distances and a shorter recharge time make hydrogen an attractive alternative energy option for electric mobility, specifically for large and heavy automobiles, due to FCEV's design. However, the success of hydrogen in becoming a sustainable energy source depends on production and availability of an established infrastructure.
Audi has plans to introduce its fuel-cell vehicle model at the beginning of the next decade, initiating with a smaller production batch. As a sports utility vehicle, the model will offer premium comfort as well as a longer range.
With a gradual shift toward sustainable technologies from gas-guzzling combustion engines, many carmakers are focusing to develop greener technologies for customers, including fuel-cell electric vehicles. Automakers are teaming up with other companies to develop this technology and share costs.
Price Performance
In the past three months, Volkswagen’s stock has moved down 7.6%, underperforming 0.3% increase of the industry it belongs to.
Zacks Rank & Stocks to Consider

Toyota has an expected long-term growth rate of 5.7%. Shares of the company have risen 29.4% over the past year.
Will You Make a Fortune on the Shift to Electric Cars?
Here's another stock idea to consider. Much like petroleum 150 years ago, lithium power may soon shake the world, creating millionaires and reshaping geo-politics. Soon electric vehicles (EVs) may be cheaper than gas guzzlers. Some are already reaching 265 miles on a single charge.
With battery prices plummeting and charging stations set to multiply, one company stands out as the #1 stock to buy according to Zacks research.
