Benore Hydrogen Trucks Revolutionize Southeast Logistics with Zero-Emission Strategy
Key Ideas
- Benore hydrogen trucks eliminate 400 metric tons of CO₂ per rig annually, contributing to a sustainable logistics future.
- The collaboration between Benore Logistics, HTWO Energy, and Hyundai Motor Group ensures efficient fleet operations and just-in-time deliveries.
- The new HTWO Energy Savannah facility will produce 1.2 t/day of green hydrogen, supporting 14 to 50 Class 8 fuel-cell trucks and enhancing the region's clean-energy infrastructure.
- Cost projections suggest that by 2026, hydrogen fuel costs for Benore trucks will achieve diesel-equivalent prices, further incentivized by federal and state clean freight tax credits.
Benore hydrogen trucks have emerged as a game-changer in the Southeast's logistics landscape, slashing 400 metric tons of CO₂ emissions per rig annually. The fleet of 14 Hyundai XCIENT Class 8 units has proven road-ready with a range of up to 450 miles per fill, facilitating inbound parts and outbound EV deliveries for Hyundai. Fast refueling in approximately 20 minutes positions these trucks as ideal for just-in-time supply chains, bridging the gap between short-range electric vehicles and long-haul diesel tractors. The strategic partnership between Benore Logistics, HTWO Energy, and Hyundai Motor Group ensures efficient fleet operations and sustainable logistics solutions. The recent establishment of the HTWO Energy Savannah facility, set to produce 1.2 t/day of green hydrogen, will support up to 50 fuel-cell trucks and include EV fast chargers, enhancing the clean-energy hub near the Port of Savannah. Cost projections indicate that by 2026, hydrogen fuel costs for Benore trucks will achieve diesel-equivalent prices, supported by federal and state clean freight tax credits. The regulatory landscape, including Georgia's participation in clean-fuel corridors and alignment with EPA regulations, further strengthens the position of Benore hydrogen trucks as a sustainable and future-proof choice in logistics.
