The GenH2 Truck is a hydrogen-electric semi-trailer truck. It uses hydrogen to create electricity via a fuel-cell stack, which then powers an electric drive system. Similar fuel-cell trucks have been shown by Toyota, Nikola and Hyundai.
With a full tank of hydrogen, here stored in liquid form, Mercedes’ truck will be able to cover a distance of more than 620 miles, which is comparable to a diesel truck. The advantage over a battery-electric truck like the planned Tesla Semi, which is promised with 500 miles of range, is much quicker refueling times since hydrogen tanks can be filled in minutes, though finding hydrogen for sale is still next to impossible in most parts.

As it looks to eliminate emissions across its vehicle fleet, Mercedes-Benz is not only working on electric cars and SUVs but also electric commercial trucks.
Mercedes’ parent company, Daimler, is among the world’s biggest truck manufacturers, controlling not only the Mercedes brand but also the likes of Freightliner, Western Star and Fuso, and the new GenH2 Truck concept unveiled by Mercedes on Wednesday shows the future of what long-haul transport will be like.
