Hyundai Motor Co. announced its plan to supply hydrogen-powered waste collection vehicles to Busan metropolitan city, aligning with the municipality's goal of transitioning its waste collection fleet system to clean energy. At an event in Busan City Hall, Hyundai introduced two hydrogen-powered waste collection truck models based on the Xcient fuel cell heavy-duty truck platform. These trucks are intended to replace older diesel-powered vehicles in South Korea's second-largest city. The city's objective is to have 65 hydrogen-powered waste collection vehicles in operation by 2028, starting with the delivery of five units to four local districts this year. Hyundai aims to expand this supply to more districts in Busan in the coming years. By introducing hydrogen trucks, Busan anticipates improvements in the working conditions of waste collection workers due to the vehicles' quieter and vibration-free operation. Hyundai expressed its commitment to supporting Busan's environmental goals by ensuring timely production and delivery of the hydrogen waste trucks.
