MAN Truck & Bus has launched a limited series of hydrogen combustion-powered trucks for customers in a select number of countries.
The 200 initial planned units will be available to customers in the Netherlands, Norway, Iceland and other selected non-European countries by 2025.
The MAN hTGX will be suitable for transporting heavy goods, such as construction work or tank transport, with a 56kg tank that can be filled in 15 minutes with hydrogen compressed to 700 bar. Boasting an energy output of 383kW, the hTGX can travel up to 600km in the 6×2 and 6×4 axle variants.
The hydrogen combustion engine H45 is based on the traditional D38 diesel engine, produced at MAN’s engine and battery plant in Nuremberg, Germany.
