Hyundai Xcient Fuel Cell, a hydrogen-fueled truck, has started operations in Switzerland since October 2020. Now, the age of this vehicle has reached three years and has obtained a milestone.
Reporting from the manufacturer's official website, Saturday, June 15, the truck self-developed by Hyundai has surpassed the cumulative distance of up to 10 million km in the use of fleets in Switzerland. Thus, this is proof of the long-term reliability of world-class hydrogen fuel cell technology.
Trucks for heavy vehicles only operate using green hydrogen. Which means, no carbon footprint was left during operational activities so as to contribute to creating environmentally friendly value in Europe.
Compared to the regular diesel truck fleet, which will issue about 6,300 tonnes of carbon dioxide within an accumulation distance of 10 million kilometers, XCIENT Fuel Cell electric trucks provide a significant reduction in carbon emissions.
It is estimated that this reduction is equivalent to the amount of carbon absorbed annually by around 700,000 pine trees, or the creation of pine forests covering an area of 508 hectares (5 million square meters).
This achievement also plays an important role in the technological advancement of hydrogen fuel cell systems. By analyzing vehicle data regarding distance, hydrogen consumption, and the performance of the piles of fuel cells collected as part of this achievement.
In addition, this manufacturer from the country of ginseng intends to continue to improve the technology of its hydrogen fuel cells and apply them to various types of vehicles.
