SEOUL, South Korea - South Korea's Hyundai Motor Co. will jointly develop and manufacture electrically powered vehicles with UTC Fuel Cells of the United States, Hyundai officials said Wednesday. <br>
<br>
Hyundai's sister company, Kia Motors Corp., also joined in the deal as a partner, Hyundai said in a news release. <br>
<br>
Hyundai gave no further details. <br>
<br>
Hyundai and UTC last March succeeded in developing a sports utility vehicle powered by hydrogen fuel cells. But the vehicle, fully charged, can travel only 100 miles. <br>
<br>
Electric cars emit none of the exhaust fumes that are a major cause of global warming. <br>
