Our heritage dates back to the Apollo space program of the 1960s, when our fuel cells powered and provided water for the first successful moon landing. While we were a division of the industrial giant United Technology Corporation (UTC), we spent decades developing groundbreaking products to make hydrogen fuel cells a viable way to power the world. We were the first company to commercialize the stationary fuel cell and developed the first hydrogen-powered vehicles.

In 2014, our predecessor entity was acquired by Doosan Group, an energy-focused multinational industrial powerhouse from Korea with more than 125 years of history. HyAxiom, as we are currently named, is a hybrid of two rich legacies, combining expertise in cutting-edge hydrogen technology with a proven track record of upscaling products and businesses to accelerate the adoption of hydrogen-based energy solutions worldwide.
