Key Ideas
- Hyundai Motor Group Metaplant America deploys 21 XCIENT heavy-duty hydrogen fuel-cell electric trucks for clean logistics operations, reducing carbon footprint.
- The initiative showcases a closed-loop hydrogen logistics ecosystem, promoting environmental sustainability in daily operations and contributing to responsible environmental stewardship.
- HTWO, Hyundai's hydrogen value chain brand, is at the forefront of the initiative, encompassing the entire hydrogen value chain from production to utilization.
Hyundai Motor Group Metaplant America (HMGMA) and Glovis America have collaborated to deploy 21 Hyundai XCIENT heavy-duty hydrogen fuel-cell electric trucks for clean logistics operations. These trucks will transport vehicle parts from HMGMA suppliers to the Megasite, supporting a cleaner alternative to traditional freight logistics methods. This industry-leading initiative marks a significant step forward in reducing carbon footprint and promoting sustainable practices. The deployment of zero-emissions hydrogen fuel cell technology demonstrates Hyundai Motor Group's commitment to responsible environmental stewardship. The XCIENT trucks are set to expand logistics operations from suppliers to a broader network, with plans to represent more than one-third of the Glovis America truck fleet at HMGMA. Hyundai's new hydrogen value chain brand, HTWO, plays a key role in this initiative, covering the entire hydrogen value chain from production to utilization. The deployment of XCIENT trucks for logistics operations aligns with HTWO's vision to create a closed-loop hydrogen logistics ecosystem, improving environmental sustainability. Additionally, HTWO Logistics, a joint venture between Hyundai Motor Company and Glovis America, will establish a mobile hydrogen refueling station at the Megasite for efficient refueling, with plans for a hydrogen production and refueling station in the works.
