SEOUL: Hyundai Motor Company will host a digital premiere event for the launch of Xcient Fuel Cell, the world’s first mass-produced fuel cell heavy-duty truck, at 10am KST on Oct 14.

At the event, leaders of Hyundai’s Commercial Vehicle Business Division and Fuel Cell Center will introduce the eco-friendly fuel cell truck and their roadmap for clean commercial mobility.

The livestream can be viewed at http://www.youtube.com/HyundaiWorldwide.

Earlier in July, Hyundai shipped Xcient Fuel Cell to customers in Switzerland as part of Hyundai Motor’s plan to roll out a total of 1,600 fuel cell electric commercial vehicles by 2025.

Xcient Fuel Cell is equipped with a 350-bar 32-kg hydrogen tank that provides around 400km of driving range with a full trailer in tow.

Fueling time to full charging takes approximately eight~20 minutes and this truck can carry a load comparable to a diesel truck.

It also provides various safety and convenience features such as Front Collision-avoidance Assist (FCA), Lane Departure Warning (LDW), smartphone mirroring and wireless charging.
