The development team at Daimler Truck, focusing on Mercedes-Benz's next-generation fuel cell trucks, conducted intensive testing of the GenH2 Truck in the Swiss Alps. The tests involved two hydrogen trucks covering 6,500 km over 14 days, navigating challenging uphill and downhill terrains with gradients of 10 to 12%. These tests allowed for a detailed assessment of essential propulsion system components like the fuel cell, high-voltage battery, and thermal management, emphasizing the use of predictive powertrain control to optimize energy efficiency. Rainer Müller-Finkeldei, Director of Product Engineering at Mercedes-Benz Trucks, praised the successful tests, highlighting the truck's reliability under extreme conditions. Mercedes-Benz's hydrogen strategy, centered on the GenH2 Truck, aims to offer a range of 1,000 km and a payload capacity of 40 tonnes, positioning hydrogen as a viable option for long-distance transport. The collaboration with Air Products for hydrogen refueling infrastructure development underscores the company's dedication to sustainable road freight transport. Mercedes-Benz advocates for liquid hydrogen due to its higher energy density and extended range, signaling a positive outlook on hydrogen as a key solution for reducing CO2 emissions in long-haul transport.
