SEOUL: Hyundai Motor on Monday presented a first look at a render image of a new truck with fuel cell powertrain which is set to be launched in 2019.

This follows on from the rollout of the ix35 Fuel Cell and the NEXO.

The fuel cell electric truck boasts distinctive design which sets it apart from other Hyundai commercial vehicle line-up.

The truck aims at simple and clean design which is also aerodynamically efficient with a spoiler and side protector.

The front grille symbolises hydrogen through geometric shapes, giving the vehicle a unique look.

The vehicle presents an eco-friendly look with an iconic blue colour application and a bold side body graphic on the container.

During the Sept 20-27 IAA Commercial Vehicles 2018 taking place in Hanover, Germany, Hyundai will announce the future plans for introducing the fuel cell electric truck in the European eco-friendly commercial vehicle market next year as well revealing vehicle specification.

Hyundai Motor also recently completed South Korea’s first domestic highway journey with an autonomously navigated semi-trailer truck.

Its Xcient truck drove 40km on the highway between Uiwang and Incheon, carrying large semi-trailer simulating cargo transportation, showcasing Hyundai’s advances in future mobility.
