“The deployment of the first hydrogen-powered 40-ton vehicle in cross-border traffic between Germany and Belgium is a milestone achievement in the context of our long-term sustainability goals. It demonstrates that we are operating at the cutting edge of technology. It is a good example of the importance of cooperating with innovative and high-performing green mobility companies.”
The truck, manufactured by Hyzon, has a range of around 400 kilometers, while at the same time, the maximum payload is higher than 100% for electrically powered trucks. Another major advantage of hydrogen technology in everyday use is the fast refueling process of approximately 15 minutes.
