Hydrogen fuel cell heavy‑duty truck (49‑tonne class)

The project’s core technology is the 49‑tonne‑class hydrogen fuel cell heavy‑duty truck, which combines a high‑power proton‑exchange‑membrane fuel cell system with electric drive, a traction battery pack, hydrogen storage tanks, and an advanced vehicle control system to deliver long‑range, fast‑refueling, zero tailpipe emission freight transport for heavy loads.[1][7] The specific truck variant highlighted in the article can cold‑start at temperatures down to about −30°C, refuel hydrogen in roughly 10 minutes, achieve driving ranges above 500 km on a single fill, and operates with hydrogen consumption per 100 km better than prevailing industry averages for similar vehicles, while protecting key electric components to an IP68 ingress‑protection level.[1]
