The three IVECO S-eWAY Fuel Cell trucks delivered to hylane come from the small series produced in Ulm, which is now also demonstrating the practicality and scalability of hydrogen-powered long-distance transport in real-life operation as part of the H2Haul project. The handover took place at the IVECO plant in Ulm, where Christian Sulser, CEO of Iveco Magirus AG, handed over the vehicles to hylane Managing Director Dr Sara Schiffer.
The tractor units are part of a small series produced in Ulm. With a range of up to 800 kilometres and a refuelling time of less than 20 minutes, they offer an efficient, emission-free solution for long-distance transport. The fuel cell drive module, electric motors plus power electronics and components for the H2 storage system for the vehicles are supplied by Bosch.
Christian Sulser said: ‘With the handover of three fuel cell-electric IVECO S-eWay tractor units to hylane, we are clearly demonstrating our commitment to driving forward the future of locally emission-free logistics in Europe.’
Dr Sara Schiffer said: ‘As one of the leading providers of zero-emission trucks in Germany, we are delighted to be able to take delivery of vehicles from series production today. We see this early delivery as an expression of confidence in our work and as an opportunity to actively shape the market ramp-up of zero-emission commercial vehicles. By expanding our fleet, we are also strengthening our position as a leading partner for climate-friendly logistics solutions.’
The European H2Haul project is co-financed by the Clean Hydrogen Partnership and aims to demonstrate the high reliability of hydrogen-powered trucks as a viable and locally emission-free solution for European transport needs. The IVECO S-eWay Fuel Cell tractor units have a range of up to 800 kilometers and can be refueled in less than 20 minutes. The installed hydrogen tanks hold up to 70 kilograms at 700 bar pressure and supply a fuel cell system with a total output of over 200 kW. The e-axle is powered by both the fuel cell system and two centrally installed battery packs. The system output is 400 kW and the permissible total weight is 44 tonnes.
