Hyundai XCIENT Fuel Cell Trucks Reach 10 Million Kilometers in Switzerland
Key Ideas
  • Hyundai's XCIENT Fuel Cell trucks in Switzerland reached 10 million kilometers, showcasing the potential of hydrogen fuel cell technology as a sustainable replacement for traditional electric vehicles.
  • The trucks, powered by water, demonstrate reliability with a highly efficient fuel cell power system design, covering over 400 kilometers per fill using 180 kW hydrogen fuel cell power systems and a 350 kW motor.
  • The emission-free vehicles contribute significantly to environmental benefits by saving 6,300 tons of carbon dioxide emissions, promoting the development of green hydrogen infrastructure and supporting the reduction of carbon outputs in transportation networks.
  • Hyundai's global expansion plans target key markets in Europe and the United States, with projects like HTWO brand and NorCAL ZERO Project aiming to establish hydrogen-based communities and sustainable ecosystems.
Hyundai's XCIENT Fuel Cell trucks have achieved a milestone of traveling 10 million kilometers in Switzerland, indicating the success and viability of hydrogen fuel cell technology in the transportation sector. Launched in October 2020, the trucks have operated for 3 years and 8 months, proving their reliability with a highly efficient power system design that allows them to cover over 400 kilometers per fill using 180 kW hydrogen fuel cell power systems and a 350 kW motor. By operating without carbon emissions and releasing only water vapor, the trucks offer significant environmental benefits, saving 6,300 tons of carbon dioxide emissions during their journey. The deployment of green hydrogen infrastructure in Switzerland has facilitated the outstanding performance of the XCIENT Fuel Cell trucks, with all vehicles using green hydrogen from production facilities that generate hydrogen without carbon emissions. This strategy not only reduces carbon outputs in transportation networks but also supports the construction of sustainable environments. Hyundai's global expansion plans focus on key markets in Europe and the United States, aiming to establish hydrogen-based communities and sustainable ecosystems through projects like the HTWO brand and NorCAL ZERO Project. As Hyundai continues to advance its technology and expand worldwide, it positions itself as a leader in developing pollution-free transportation systems for the future.
