Hyundai Construction Equipment is set to debut its market-ready hydrogen fuel-cell excavator, the HW155H, at Bauma Munich. This second-generation prototype, powered by 30kW and 50kW fuel cells, offers 70–100kW power output, equivalent to diesel excavators. Noteworthy is the novel solid-state hydrogen storage system, based on metal hydride technology, providing high-density storage at lower pressures for extended runtime and quick refueling in just 10 minutes. The excavator promises zero emissions, with only pure distilled water released. The HW155H's environmental benefits have led to its nomination for the Bauma 2025 Innovation Awards in the Climate Protection category, reflecting industry recognition. As construction aims for sustainability, this hydrogen-powered excavator showcases a promising solution for achieving eco-friendly operations without compromising performance.
