In the concept video, Hyundai and Plus outline a practical framework for deploying autonomous hydrogen fuel cell trucks along high-utilisation hub-to-hub routes.
“Hyundai Motor believes in a sustainable future powered by advanced fuel cell technologies”, says Jim Park, senior vice president of commercial vehicle and hydrogen business development at Hyundai Motor North America.
“We hope to continue our partnership with Plus to add autonomous driving capabilities to XCIENT Fuel Cell trucks in the future and provide our fleet operator customers with additional solutions that improve road safety and freight efficiency.
“The concept shared today shows why we value this partnership and the vision for what autonomous hydrogen fuel cell trucks can deliver.”
“Autonomous hydrogen fuel cell trucks are a transformative step forward in sustainable freight,” adds David Liu, CEO and co-founder of Plus.
“By combining self-driving and zero-tailpipe emission technologies, we are laying the groundwork for a cleaner, more efficient transportation system that meets the demands of today and the needs of tomorrow.
“We are excited to showcase a concept for the sustainable future we expect to create with innovation-driven partners like Hyundai Motor.”
