[THE INVESTOR] Hyundai Motor said on Oct. 25 that its Nexo hydrogen fuel-cell electric car received a five-star overall rating from the European New Car Assessment Program.

The Nexo is equipped with active safety and driving assistance technologies, which significantly lower the risk of collisions and increase passenger comfort for the emission-free vehicle, Hyundai said in a statement.

Other safety features include forward and rear cross-traffic collision avoidance and lane-keeping assist, it said.

“The Euro NCAP rating confirms our commitment to provide customers and other road users with the highest level of safety and innovative mobility solutions,” Andreas-Christoph Hofmann, vice president in charge of marketing and product at Hyundai Motor Europe, said in the statement.

Euro NCAP is an independent vehicle assessment organization.
