    According to the sources, in cooperation with the Defense Development Agency and other defense technology research institutes, Hyundai Rotem is developing a next-generation tank model as part of plans to modernize the K2 main battle tank.

    The tank's hydrogen fuel cells will generate enough power to overcome steep slopes and difficult terrain.

    In addition, it will have stealth capabilities, autonomous driving and unmanned control, as well as a 130 mm smoothbore gun.

    "The next-generation tank will have a more powerful preemptive strike capability with an artificial intelligence-based fire control system," said a Hyundai Rotem spokesperson.

    The company plans to first develop a hybrid model that uses diesel fuel and electricity, and then create a full-fledged hydrogen-fueled tank.
