Key Ideas
  • MAN's hTGX heavy-duty truck with a hydrogen combustion engine wins the prestigious Truck Innovation Award 2025.
  • The hydrogen-powered MAN vehicle surpassed competitors like Renault's 'Oxygen' and Iveco's 'S-eWay Fuel Cell' in the contest.
  • Judges praised the hTGX for its performance, driveability, virtually zero-emission CO₂ footprint, and range of 600 kilometers.
  • The ITOY jury highlighted MAN's practical alternative to battery-electric trucks, emphasizing the importance of green hydrogen for clean-emission commercial vehicles.
At the IAA TRANSPORTATION Press Day in Hanover, MAN Truck & Bus' newly developed heavy-duty truck, the hTGX, equipped with a hydrogen combustion engine, was awarded the Truck Innovation Award 2025. This marks the third win for MAN, following their victories in 2019 and 2023. The hTGX, powered by a MAN H4576 six-cylinder hydrogen engine, impressed with its diesel-like performance and driveability during a road test in Austria. The judges praised its virtually zero-emission CO₂ footprint, 600-kilometer range, and simplified exhaust gas aftertreatment system. The ITOY jury, comprised of 25 commercial vehicle editors, recognized the hTGX as a significant step in decarbonizing road transport, particularly in heavy-duty applications. MAN's commitment to green hydrogen as a fuel source for the future was underscored, positioning the hTGX as a practical, sustainable solution in the commercial vehicle industry.
