Hyundai Motor Company unveiled its new Xcient hydrogen fuel cell Class-8 heavy-duty truck at the Advanced Clean Transportation (ACT) Expo 2025 in Anaheim, California, as part of its strategy to expand its hydrogen truck business in North America. The South Korean automaker aims to strengthen its position in the global hydrogen energy transition and North American commercial vehicle sector with the Xcient truck, which runs on an upgraded 180 kW hydrogen fuel cell system and a 72 kWh battery pack. The truck is equipped with 10 hydrogen tanks totaling 68 kg in capacity, providing a range of 450 miles. The interior of the Xcient cabin has been enhanced for driver comfort, featuring a 12.3-inch fully digital instrument cluster, a touchscreen infotainment system, and an Advanced Driver-Assistance System (ADAS) with various safety features. Ken Ramirez, head of Global Commercial Vehicle and Hydrogen Business at Hyundai, highlighted the company's dedication to delivering cutting-edge solutions and fostering partnerships to drive innovation and sustainability. Hyundai has already initiated the NorCal Zero project, deploying 30 Xcient trucks at the Ports of Oakland and Richmond, marking a significant deployment of hydrogen trucks in North America. Furthermore, Hyundai plans to finalize the construction of the 'HTWO Energy Savannah' hydrogen refueling and electric recharging station in Savannah, Georgia, by the end of 2025 in collaboration with HydroFleet and Capital Development Partners.
