Hyundai Motor has revealed that it will export its XCIENT Fuel Cell heavy-duty trucks to Germany, with plans for seven companies in the logistics, manufacturing and retail sectors to put 27 of them into fleet service. The German government will provide funding for the eco-friendly commercial vehicles, according to the automaker. The XCIENT Fuel Cell is equipped with two 90 kW fuel cell stacks and seven hydrogen tanks, with a combined storage capacity of around 31 kg of fuel. The 350 kW e-motor is also powered by three batteries, with a maximum driving range of 400 km per charge. One of the German clients, Dachser, plans to start operating trucks by early 2023.
