Hyundai and Iveco announced their intention to forge closer links to develop innovation in heavy-duty trucks running on batteries and hydrogen. They have signed a Letter of Intent to this effect.
Hyundai and Iveco have been working together since 2022. They had already collaborated on a hydrogen-powered commercial vehicle: the eDAILY FCEV, equipped with Hyundai’s 90 kW hydrogen fuel cell system and a 140 kW electric motor. The vehicle also has six tanks storing 12kg of hydrogen, providing a 350km range. Hyundai and Iveco also unveiled a hydrogen-powered bus at BusWorld in 2023. The E-WAY H2 is a 12-metre long, low-floor city bus powered by a 310 kW electric motor, a 69 kWh battery from FPT Industrial and a fuel cell supplied by HTWO (the brand that markets the Hyundai Group’s hydrogen fuel cell solutions). The bus incorporates four tanks to store 7.8 kg of hydrogen, offering a range of 450 km.
More recently, in February 2024, the two companies announced the signing of an agreement for an all-electric light commercial vehicle under the Iveco name for Europe, based on Hyundai’s eLCV platform.
