Following track and public road testing, the Mercedes-Benz GenH2 trucks, from mid-2024, will be used by a range of fleet operators to showcase Daimler’s CO2-free long-distance transport solution.
Five semi-trailer trucks, will be deployed in different long-haul applications on German routes, transporting building material, sea containers, gas cylinders and more. Holcim and Wiedmann & Winz will also take part in the customer fleet trials.
