A fleet of 1,000 hydrogen fuel cell electric trucks forms the central part of a memorandum signed between South Korean car maker Hyundai and Swiss renewable resource company H2 Energy. The memorandum includes a reliable supply chain for renewable hydrogen and is in accordance with European regulations.

Featuring a two-panel parallel hydrogen cell system amounting to 190kW output, the FCEV trucks, being developed by Hyundai are expected to deliver 400km range from full. Eight large hydrogen tanks, that can be refuelled in as little as 7 minutes sitting between the cabin and the rigid body of the truck, will power the fuel cell stack.

H2 Energy will make the FCEV truck fleet available to Swiss customers starting with members of the Swiss H2 Association. Amongst the association’s members are hydrogen refuelling station operators, retailers and other H2 customers whose interests lie strongly in eco-friendly logistics.
