HMG is committed to helping turn Oman's Vision 2040 ambitions into tangible outcomes through collaboration in smart cities and future mobility. Hokeun Chung Executive Vice President, Head of Future Strategy Division, Hyundai Motor Group What Does the MTCIT Partnership Cover? The Omani government is advancing state-led smart city development under Vision 2040, with flagship projects including Sultan Haitham City. The MOU with the Group establishes a framework for cooperation spanning smart city development and eco-friendly mobility, including electric and hydrogen fuel cell vehicles. Through this partnership, the Group positions itself as a partner in Oman's sustainable urban transition and carbon neutrality efforts. How Will Oman's First Hydrogen City Bus Operate? Oman's national transport operator Mwasalat has signed a Pilot Agreement (PA) with the Group to deploy Oman's first hydrogen city bus, the ELEC CITY Fuel Cell, on public transit routes in Muscat. Rather than a short-term technology demonstration, the initiative is designed as an actual passenger transportation service. The 24-seat hydrogen fuel cell bus will run as part of a pilot service from the third quarter of 2026 through the third quarter of 2027.
