President Moon Jae-in's new official limousine is a hydrogen-fueled car.

Moon took the car for a test drive in the presidential compound on Tuesday, according to Cheong Wa Dae. This is the first time a hydrogen vehicle has been picked as a presidential car.

The presidential office is leading a campaign to promote eco-friendly vehicles. Cheong Wa Dae already uses two hydrogen cars for the presidential secretariat and five for the security service.

It said that Moon will use the car mainly for commuting and gradually expand its usage afterwards.
