Hyundai Motor Co. has unveiled the latest upgrades to its Class 8 Xcient hydrogen fuel cell electric tractor at the 2025 Advanced Clean Transportation Expo in Anaheim, California. The new version of the Xcient features significant improvements in its powertrain, safety systems, and driver comforts. With enhanced specifications including two 90-kilowatt fuel cell stacks, a 72-kilowatt-hour battery pack, and a 350-kW e-motor, the Xcient aims to prioritize safety and efficiency in clean logistics. In addition to the technical upgrades, the interior of the Xcient now boasts a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster and touchscreen infotainment system, along with advanced safety features like forward collision-avoidance assist, lane departure warning, and smart cruise control. Hyundai's focus on innovation and sustainability is reflected in the company's commitment to developing cutting-edge technologies such as Advanced Driver Assistance Systems. Since its initial launch in 2020, the Xcient trucks have been operational in the U.S., playing a crucial role in logistics at various plants, including the Hyundai Motor Group Metaplant America in Georgia. Plans are underway to expand the use of these hydrogen fuel cell tractors to Hyundai and Kia manufacturing plants in Alabama and Georgia. Hyundai is leading the way in hydrogen fuel cell technology for commercial vehicles, being the sole truck manufacturer supplying Class 8 hydrogen fuel cell tractors in North America. The company's partnership with HTWO Logistics and other industry players demonstrates a strategic approach to create a sustainable and efficient transportation ecosystem. The development of a hydrogen production and refueling station in Savannah, Ga., further solidifies Hyundai's commitment to a zero-emission future in the heavy-duty trucking industry.
