German automotive technology firm KEYOU has handed over an 18-tonne truck with a hydrogen internal combustion engine (ICE) to logistics company EP-Trans.
Based on a Mercedes Benz Actros chassis, the truck is equipped with a 7.8-litre Deutz six-cylinder in-line engine which, after conversion to hydrogen, generates an output of 210kW.
The hydrogen engine has been combined with the Allison 3000 R transmission and zero-emission technology, which reportedly enables optimal integration with several energy sources.
