Germany has approved €226 million in funding for the development and deployment of 100 hydrogen fuel cell trucks. The Federal Ministry for Digital and Transport, alongside the federal states of Baden-Württemberg and Rhineland-Palatinate, has allocated this funding to support the commercial vehicle industry's progress in hydrogen technology for road freight transportation. Daimler Truck's upcoming hydrogen-powered trucks will run on liquid hydrogen, providing a range of over 1,000 kilometres and showcasing the potential of this technology as a sustainable alternative to diesel trucks. This project falls under the European Union's Important Project of Common European Interest (IPCEI) Hydrogen programme, which aims to boost hydrogen technology in transportation, with Daimler Truck being the primary recipient of the funding. The plan includes the assembly of key truck components at German sites, with final assembly at the Mercedes-Benz plant in Wörth. The funding will also support feasibility studies and production investments, enhancing the industry and innovation landscape in Rhineland-Palatinate and Baden-Württemberg. By the end of 2026, the project targets the delivery of 100 fuel cell trucks, aligning with the EU's climate goals and driving the adoption of hydrogen technology in heavy-duty transportation.
