About Doosan Mobility Innovation

Doosan Mobility Innovation (DMI), a subsidiary of the century-old South Korean conglomerate Doosan Group, is a global pioneer in the commercialization of hydrogen fuel cell technology for mobile platforms. Established in 2016 and headquartered in Yongin, South Korea, DMI was created to overcome the primary bottleneck of the autonomous age: the limited energy density of traditional batteries. The company specializes in the development and manufacturing of Proton-Exchange Membrane Fuel Cells (PEMFC) designed specifically for Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) and ground robotics. DMI’s flagship hydrogen power packs offer a disruptive leap in endurance, enabling drones to fly for over two hours—more than quadruple the flight time of lithium-ion battery counterparts. This extended autonomy is a critical enabler for BVLOS (Beyond Visual Line of Sight) operations, allowing for large-scale infrastructure inspection, long-range maritime surveillance, and persistent public safety missions. Operating as a B2B manufacturing powerhouse, DMI’s business model extends beyond hardware sales to include a comprehensive hydrogen infrastructure ecosystem. This includes standardized hydrogen tanks, digital refueling management platforms, and modular power packs that can be integrated into third-party robotic systems. By 2026, DMI has successfully expanded its footprint into dual-use technology, providing sovereign energy solutions for defense security and national crisis preparedness. Recognized with multiple CES Innovation Awards, including the prestigious "Best of Innovation," DMI serves as a cornerstone for both NIF Defense Security and NIF Energy Security and Climate Change. By providing zero-emission, high-endurance power, DMI is not only revolutionizing the drone industry but also laying the energy foundations for a sustainable, autonomous hydrogen economy.
