Many thousands of trucks roll on highways every day. This has an enormous impact on the environment because freight traffic is anything but clean. Hyundai Motor wants to change that, and it has delivered the first seven Xcient Fuel Cell trucks in Switzerland, Europe.

According to Hyundai, the Xcient Fuel Cell is the world's first mass-produced electric heavy-duty truck with a fuel cell drive. Hyundai sees the introduction of the Xcient Fuel Cell as key to the global expansion of fuel cell trucks into the European commercial vehicle market. It is considered a touchstone for the company's expansion into the North American and Chinese markets.
