IVECO has announced that it will produce and market its Heavy-Duty Fuel Cell Electric Vehicles under the IVECO brand in July 2023.
The FCEV feature produced with fuel cell technology and key components by Bosch. These born-electric vehicle is based on the IVECO S-Way truck platform, which has been specifically redesigned to be capable of supporting both fuel cell and battery propulsion technology, thanks to a modular architecture.
The IVECO HD FCEV boasts a range of up to 800 km, the company stated. With a fast-refuelling time of under 20 minutes, it is the perfect solution for the long-haul mission in heavy commercial transportation. It can accommodate 70 kg of H2 usable energy at 700-bar pressure. Thanks to its higher mileage compared to an electric vehicle, it will be a real game changer in zero tailpipe emissions long-haulage missions. The first units of the IVECO HD FCEV will be delivered in France, Switzerland and Germany at end of 2023, as planned in the H2Haul European project co-financed by the Clean Hydrogen Partnership aimed at accelerating the deployment of hydrogen solutions in the commercial transport industry and enabling the large-scale fuel cell truck market in the coming years.
DAF also brought its DAF XF H2 Innovation Truck to H2Euro 2023.
“DAF foresees a bright future for hydrogen technology, as is demonstrated by the New Generation DAF XF H2 Innovation Truck currently on display at the World Hydrogen Summit 2023 in Rotterdam”, the automaker reported in the spring of 2023. “This advanced vehicle features a H2 Internal Combustion Engine and was honored the prestigious ‘Truck Innovation Award 2022”.
