First Mercedes-Benz GenH2 Truck fuel-cell prototypes are already undergoing rigorous testing programs since last year – both on the in-house test track and on public roads.
In the development of hydrogen-based drives, Mercedes-Benz Trucks prefers liquid hydrogen.
In this aggregate state the energy carrier has a significantly higher energy density in relation to volume compared to gaseous hydrogen. As a result, more hydrogen can be carried, which significantly increases the range.
The German manufacturer boasts an insane 1,000 km (621 miles) range for the heavy-duty vehicle, without any stops for refueling (in its series version). In comparison, the eActros will only offer a 400-km (around 250 miles) range.
The Mercedes-Benz GenH2 Truck can carry a load of up to 25 tons (50,000 lb) and has a gross vehicle weight of 40 tons (80,000 lb).
In a pre-series version, the two electric motors are designed for a total of 2 x 230 kW continuous power and 2 x 330 kW maximum power. Torque is 2 x 1577 Nm and 2 x 2071 Nm respectively.
The start of series production for hydrogen-based trucks is planned for the second half of the decade.
