Honda presented its latest innovation, the Class 8 Hydrogen Fuel Cell Truck Concept, at the Advanced Clean Transportation Expo in Las Vegas. This concept truck, based on the Peterbilt model 579EV, features three Honda-produced hydrogen fuel cells providing a total power output of 240 kW. It boasts a top speed of 70 mph and a range of up to 400 miles while carrying a full load of 82,000 pounds. Notably, the truck showcases Honda's technology by replacing the Peterbilt branding with Honda's insignia. Ryan Harty, Assistant Vice President of Sustainability and Business Development at Honda, highlighted the importance of fuel cells in offering a zero-emission alternative for diesel applications in commercial vehicles. The announcement did not mention any co-development with Peterbilt, leaving the partnership details unclear. The fuel cells used in the truck are currently in production at the Honda-General Motors plant in Michigan, aiming to attract potential partners for a hydrogen-fueled future. Honda's strong emphasis on hydrogen fuel cells reinforces their commitment to sustainable transportation solutions and showcases the potential for hydrogen technology in the commercial truck sector.
