It can be refuelled with both hydrogen fuel and by plug in battery recharging and has a range of 450km.

The bus is the latest product of the growing partnership between the two companies after they signed a memorandum of understanding in early 2022 to jointly develop commercial vehicle technologies and platforms and explore mutual vehicle supply opportunities. The partnership represents an opportunity for the two companies to share development costs and increase economies of scale in new technology segments.

In September 2022, the two companies displayed a seven tonne gvw Iveco Daily van powered by Hyundai’s hydrogen fuel cell at the IAA commercial vehicle exhibition in Hanover, Germany. The powertrain consisted of an FPT 140kW electric motor and a 90kW HTWO hydrogen fuel cell system.
