Daimler Truck is making significant progress with its GenH2 fuel cell truck, as it commences customer trials in Germany after extensive internal testing. The first five trucks have been allocated to major companies including Air Products, Amazon, Holcim, Ineos, and Wiedmann & Winz for real-world evaluations. These trials are pivotal for the development of new models at Daimler Truck, with a focus on advancing sustainable transportation solutions. The GenH2 trucks rely on cryogenic liquid hydrogen for fuel and will be utilized in daily logistics operations in Germany. Equipped with two fuel cell systems, a 70 kWh battery, and two electric motors, the truck offers substantial power and torque for long hauls, demonstrating a range of over 1,000 kilometers. CEO Martin Daum stresses the necessity of integrating both battery-electric and hydrogen-based drives to achieve sustainable transport and highlights the critical role of establishing the requisite refueling infrastructure. VDA President, Hildegard Müller, underscores the importance of hydrogen fuel cell drives in the future of heavy-duty commercial vehicles. She advocates for the development of a network of hydrogen filling stations and supporting infrastructure to facilitate the adoption of this technology. The customers participating in the trials, including Wiedmann & Winz, are eager to evaluate the performance of the GenH2 trucks in their fleets. Micha Lege from Wiedmann & Winz expresses anticipation for testing the hydrogen fuel cell drive in the long-haul truck, emphasizing the significance of this innovative technology in the transportation sector.
