Powered by dual 90-kW fuel cell systems and a 350 kW e-motor, these trucks offer a maximum range of over 400 kilometers. Compared to traditional diesel trucks, the XCIENT Fuel Cell models significantly reduce carbon emissions—saving an estimated 6,300 tonnes of CO2 over the 10 million kilometers driven. This reduction is equivalent to the carbon absorption of approximately 700,000 pine trees or a pine forest spanning 508 hectares.

Beyond supplying trucks, Hyundai is actively engaged in building a comprehensive commercial hydrogen ecosystem, encompassing production, infrastructure, and consumption, contributing to a sustainable future.
