Daimler Truck has secured €226 million in funding from the Federal Ministry for Digital and Transport and the federal states of Baden-Württemberg and Rhineland-Palatinate in Germany for the development, small-series production, and customer deployment of 100 hydrogen fuel cell trucks. The project, part of the European Union's Important Project of Common European Interest (IPCEI) Hydrogen program, aims to promote sustainable transportation with liquid hydrogen technology. The funding approval, marked by government officials' handover to Daimler Truck's CEO, Karin Rådström, is a significant boost for hydrogen use in road freight transportation and the commercial vehicle industry. The deployment of these fuel cell trucks is expected to provide valuable insights for future sustainable freight transport technologies. Key components of the trucks will be assembled at various German production sites, and the trucks are scheduled to be in operation at various customers from the end of 2026 onwards. The funding demonstrates a collective effort towards advancing climate protection and developing hydrogen technology in heavy-duty transportation. The project's focus on liquid hydrogen technology, enabling a range of over 1,000 kilometers, has been positively received by the European Commission, positioning it as a pioneering initiative in the field.
