Hyundai New Power Truck

The Hyundai Xcient is a heavy-duty truck developed by Hyundai Motor Company, designed for commercial use. First introduced in 2013, the Xcient serves as the successor to the Hyundai Trago.[5]

History

The Hyundai Xcient was presented at the 2013 Seoul Motor Show, as a new model in Hyundai’s truck lineup. It was developed to meet the growing demand for more sustainable and efficient commercial vehicles. In 2020, Hyundai, in collaboration with H2 Energy, began mass production of the hydrogen-powered version of the Xcient,[6] a 34-ton cargo truck.

Hydrogen Version

The Hyundai Xcient hydrogen-powered truck uses a hydrogen fuel cell system that allows it to travel up to 400 kilometers (250 miles) on a full tank of hydrogen. The refueling time is between 8 to 20 minutes.

Markets

The Hyundai Xcient is sold mainly in South Korea while the hydrogen version is sold worldwide and in Switzerland 1,600 units are expected to be shipped by 2025. In 2021, 140 units of the new model were delivered, along with 46 units of the older model.[7]
