In addition to producing cars, Hyundai also produces big rigs using the XCIENT fuel cells. Hyundai's XCIENT Fuel Cell truck is one of the best eco-friendly, hydrogen powered trucks on the market. 46 XCIENT Fuel Cell Trucks can travel a little over a total of 466,000 with reduced carbon emissions by 585 tons. With the changes in widespread viewpoints on controversial topics, the world has been changing at a rapid pace. Companies all over the world are trying to keep up with the global demand. That demand being for eco-friendly products, low carbon-footprint machines, and much more. Hyundai is staying up with the demand with hydrogen powered trucks. XCIENT Fuel Cell Truck: Globally Expanding Hyundai has been a top contender recently for their eco-focused designs. Also, Hyundai's implementations that have been released for an exciting new fleet of hybrid and electric vehicles. One of these, being a hot commodity in the market right now, the XCIENT Fuel Cell Truck. With exciting new improvements to the overall design and performance of this eccentrically modern machine, Hyundai is looking to be one of the best choices for eco-friendly semi-trucks that are ready for the future. Let’s check out what some of these upgrades are planning out to be: Design Updates A linear and bold ‘V’ shape of chrome details and multi-dimensional mesh patterns have been added to the exterior of the truck, adding a simple yet attractive touch to the overall look with no adjustments to any negative spectrum on the resulting performance. The blue point color lining the grille mixing with the decal graphics perfectly visualizes the truck’s fuel cell use of eco-friendly, hydrogen energy. The new and improved grille design utilizes the multi-dimensional mesh patterns to allow better airflow and a fashionable new look to rival modern competitors. The XCIENT Truck is available in a 6x2 rigid body configuration to complement the 4x2 option. So getting up hills, over rocks, and such will be even easier. Performance Improvements The XCIENT Truck is equipped with a 180-kW hydrogen fuel cell system. This system has two 90-kW fuel cell stacks specially modified for improved fuel efficiency & durability. An available 350-kW e-motor with maximum torque of 2,237 is also available for those who want better dynamic driving performance. Hyundai has installed seven large hydrogen tanks to offer a total storage capacity of 31 kg of fuel. Many truckers need more fuel than that, which is why a 72-kWh-powered set of three batteries provides an additional source of power to keep with your demands. While the maximum driving range of the 2021 XCIENT Fuel Cell is set to be around 248 miles, refueling a full tank of hydrogen only takes about 8 to 20 minutes, depending on the ambient temperature. These numbers are more than enough for many drivers to quickly refuel and get back on the roads. Making A Difference You Can Count On With the launch of the enhanced model, Hyundai plans to accelerate the global advancement of its heavy-duty fuel cell truck on a whole new level that we expect is going to make a big change to the transportation industry within a couple of years. Hyundai has managed to ship out a total 46 of XCIENT Fuel Cell Trucks to Switzerland last year with the cumulative driving range of those trucks in operation reaching over 750,000 kilometers (466,028 miles)! And it did more than just save fuel too, over that distance, the hydrogen-powered trucks have reduced carbon emissions by an estimated 585 tons compared to diesel-powered vehicles. According to CEO of Hyundai Hydrogen Mobility, “We are very confident that we will see XCIENT Fuel Cell trucks on the road in other European countries next year.” They also plan to showcase the XCIENT Fuel Cell Trucks to the North American market this year. By talking with several local governments and logistics businesses to start multiple joint ventures for distributing across the country.

Engine & Performance This year’s model is offered in two different engine types. First, a 164-hp 2.0-liter spitting out an average of 150lbs of torque. Second, a 181 hp 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine outputting 181lbs. Both have been tested to move the Tucson at a standstill form 0-60mph in 8.8 seconds.

The phenomenal suspension pairs with high-performance brake calipers and a weighted steering wheel to provide a “sporty” experience that soaks up all the harsh environmental factors, which is great for daily driver use if you happen to have a ton of potholes or beat-up roads near your area.
