Hyundai Rolls Out Better Hydrogen Fuel Cell Truck

Seoul: Hyundai Motor said on Tuesday it has introduced a revamped version of its Xcient heavy-duty hydrogen fuel cell truck at a clean transport exhibition in the United States.

The upgraded Xcient, which includes a newly designed hydrogen fuel cell system, was showcased at the Advanced Clean Transportation Expo 2025 in Anaheim, California, on Monday (US time), reports Yonhap news agency.

Hyundai Motor said the revamped Xcient is tailored to meet a wide range of customer needs, including port transportation and medium-distance logistics. It is powered by a 180 kilowatt-hour (kWh) hydrogen fuel cell system. For hydrogen storage, it is fitted with 10 tanks that together hold approximately 68 kilograms of hydrogen, enabling the vehicle to support a wide range of commercial transportation needs.

Ken Ramirez, head of Hyundai Motor's global commercial vehicle and hydrogen business, emphasised the South Korean automaker's focus on providing real-world, production-ready solutions for the transport industry.

"We are empowering our fleet partners to navigate a rapidly changing landscape and lead the transition to a smarter and more sustainable future," Ramirez said.
