Hyundai Motor Co. said Thursday its Nexo hydrogen fuel cell electric car has been awarded Europe's best in class for safety in the large off-road category for this year.
The European New Car Assessment Program tested the Nexo in four categories: the safety of adult passengers, the safety of children in rear seats, the safety assistance system and the safety of passers-by and bicycles on roads, Hyundai said in a statement.
