Hyundai Motor Co. is set to revolutionize the transportation industry with its ambitious expansion into hydrogen-powered vehicles. The company announced its plans to launch car carrier trailers and refrigerator trucks fueled by hydrogen in the latter half of this year, primarily targeting the US market. Building on the success of the XCIENT hydrogen fuel cell truck, which made its debut in Switzerland in October 2020, Hyundai aims to further broaden its portfolio of hydrogen fuel cell vehicles. By early 2027, the company intends to introduce hydrogen-powered express and low-floor intercity buses, while also working on developing the world's first hydrogen-powered supercar scheduled for release in 2026. The XCIENT hydrogen truck, priced at $437,000-$583,000 per unit, has garnered significant traction in the market. Swiss transportation companies have already invested in 48 units, collectively covering an impressive 10 million kilometers. This accomplishment underscores the reliability, efficiency, and viability of hydrogen as a sustainable energy source in the transportation sector. The XCIENT truck boasts a 180-kilowatt hydrogen fuel cell system, comprising two hydrogen fuel cells and a drive motor with a maximum output of 350kW. With a single charge, these trucks can travel up to 400km, offering a zero-emission solution for long-haul transportation. To further enhance the performance and range of its hydrogen vehicles, Hyundai is actively working on increasing the electricity production of its fuel cell stacks from 180kW to 200kW. This initiative aims to boost the mileage of hydrogen trucks and buses, making them more efficient and competitive in the market. Additionally, Hyundai recently took control of the hydrogen production facilities from its affiliate, Hyundai Mobis Co., streamlining the development and production of fuel cells internally. This strategic move positions Hyundai as a key player in the hydrogen-powered vehicle segment, signaling a significant shift towards sustainable and eco-friendly transportation solutions.
