Daimler Truck's development team conducted rigorous testing of Mercedes-Benz's next generation fuel cell trucks in the Swiss Alps, specifically at the Simplon Pass in the Swiss Canton of Valais. The test aimed to assess the performance of the GenH2 Trucks under extreme winter conditions, including cold weather and challenging gradients. Dr. Rainer Müller-Finkeldei highlighted the seamless progress in technology development and the successful testing of components like the fuel cell, battery, and e-axle. The vehicles, powered by liquid hydrogen, covered 6,500 kilometers, demonstrating reliability and efficiency in mountainous terrains. The tests emphasized the importance of components' interaction, such as the Predictive Powertrain Controls system, for optimal energy utilization during propulsion and recuperation. The use of a mobile hydrogen refueling station showcased practical refueling solutions for hydrogen trucks. Additionally, with substantial funding secured from the German government and the European Union, Daimler is set to advance the production and deployment of 100 fuel cell trucks, highlighting the commitment to sustainable transport solutions. The project aligns with the EU's strategic goals for hydrogen technology and emphasizes the shift towards cleaner energy sources in the transportation sector.
