Hyundai Motor Company, in partnership with Plus, a California-based autonomous driving software provider, has revealed the groundbreaking debut of the first-ever Level 4 self-driving hydrogen-powered truck in the United States. The innovative truck, based on the Class 8 Xcient Fuel Cell Truck, was unveiled at the 2024 Advanced Clean Transportation (ACT) Expo, showcasing the fusion of Hyundai's hydrogen technology with autonomous driving capabilities provided by Plus. This collaboration represents a significant advancement in the automotive industry's pursuit of sustainable and efficient transportation solutions. Equipped with the Plus SuperDrive level 4 autonomous driving system, the Xcient Fuel Cell Truck utilizes a sophisticated array of sensors and cameras to enhance safety and optimize freight efficiency. Hyundai emphasizes the truck's attributes as a safer, more efficient, and environmentally friendly logistics solution. The hydrogen fuel cell system in the truck offers an impressive range of over 724 kilometers and produces only water as its by-product, ensuring zero harmful emissions. The integration of Plus' autonomous driving technology is expected to improve road safety and freight efficiency, particularly in densely populated urban areas with high levels of vehicle traffic. Hyundai intends to introduce the autonomous hydrogen truck in European and Australian markets, further promoting sustainable transportation practices globally. While the newly launched Xcient Fuel Cell Truck targets the North American market with its cutting-edge features, Hyundai also sells a different iteration of the Xcient truck in the Philippines. The local version currently operates with a turbodiesel engine and lacks the autonomous driving system present in the US model. Despite this, Hyundai's commitment to advancing hydrogen technology and autonomous driving signifies its dedication to innovation and sustainability in the automotive sector.
