HD Hyundai Oilbank announced on August 11, 2026 that it had supplied its hydrogen internal combustion engine-specific engine oil, 'XTeer H2-ICE,' to hydrogen commercial vehicle manufacturers such as Tata Daewoo, marking the first such supply in Korea.

HD Hyundai Oilbank began developing lubricant technology for hydrogen internal combustion engines in 2023 and completed product development and performance verification last year.

Hydrogen internal combustion engines operate at higher combustion temperatures than conventional internal combustion engines and generate water during combustion, which could increase engine wear and degrade oil performance. In response, HD Hyundai Oilbank independently developed and applied the following three core technologies to its product: engine protection, moisture control, and deposit inhibition.

Hydrogen internal combustion engines can utilize existing internal combustion engine production infrastructure and offer short refueling times, making them an increasingly attractive eco-friendly power source for commercial vehicles and large transport equipment.

A representative from HD Hyundai Oilbank stated, "Having secured lubricant technology specific to hydrogen internal combustion engines, we have now entered the commercialization stage," adding, "We will expand our high-value-added lubrication solutions to respond to changes in the future mobility market."

HD Hyundai is pushing for mass production of hydrogen engines for trucks through HD Construction Equipment, while HD Hyundai Oilbank is planning to broaden its lubricant portfolio to cover conventional internal combustion engines, hydrogen internal combustion engines, and electric vehicles.
