South Korea’s top automaker Hyundai Motor Co. and Italian truck maker Iveco Group N.V. have consolidated their business partnership through the creation of a hydrogen fuel-cell electric vehicle (FCEV) E-WAY H2.
The two partners showcased their jointly developed hydrogen-powered city bus at Busworld Europe 2023, the world’s largest bus exposition opened in Brussels, Belgium.
The E-WAY H2 is an addition to Hyundai’s commercial FCEV lineup following the Elec City and the Universe.
The latest hydrogen commercial vehicle has an Iveco 310-kilowatt electric motor and Hyundai’s advanced HTWO fuel cell system.
Hyundai said that the 12-meter, low-floor city bus can travel up to 450 km on a single charge, suitable for urban and suburban routes.
Since signing a memorandum of understanding in March 2022, Hyundai and Iveco have formed joint working groups on commercial vehicle technologies to explore ways to complement each other in battery and fuel-cell electric vehicle development.
In September 2022, the two companies showcased a jointly developed hydrogen fuel cell van, the eDaily, at the Hannover IAA Commercial Vehicles exhibition in Germany.
The vehicle is equipped with a 140 kW electric motor developed by FPT Industrial under the Iveco Group, alongside a 90 kW hydrogen fuel cell system from Hyundai Motor.
The 7-ton van can be fully charged in 15 minutes. It runs up to 350 km on a single charge, carrying a maximum 3-ton payload.
