Configuration and technology

All previous Hyundai commercial vehicles were either based on Mitsubishi Fuso Truck and Bus Corporation models, or were based on Japanese design, like its predecessor, Trago. The Xcient was developed during 3 years at a cost of 200 billion Won. Compared to its predecessor, it features increased cabin space and modernized driver comfort equipment. [6]

At introduction, Hyundai offers two engine variants, a 10.1-liter (common-rail injection) diesel engine with 414 hp and a top-of-the-line 12.7-liter version with 520 hp. [6] The Xcient is available with engine powers ranging from 360 to 520 hp in Euro III and Euro IV variants, with a 12 or 16 speed dual-clutch transmission. [3] The Xcient offers a total interior volume of more than 1,000 liters for the 3.92 meter high roof version.

A level 3 autonomous version is in development by Hyundai. [7]

Hydrogen fuel cell versions

In 2020, Hyundai, in a joint venture with Swiss company H2 Energy, started mass manufacturing hydrogen fuel cell-powered 34-ton cargo trucks under the brand Xcient. The vehicles are able to travel 400 kilometres (250 mi) on a full tank and they take 8 to 20 minutes to fill up. [8] In the case of Switzerland, a total of 1600 units is expected to be shipped by 2025. Currently, 46 units of the older model are sent, and 140 units of the new model will be shipped by 2021. [9]

In December 2022, the sales began in South Korea. In addition to hydrogen fuel cell systems, collision safety systems, downhill cruises, disc brakes, and tire pressure warnings, South Korea operates 4X2/6x4 special chassis cabs and 6X4 wing bodies.

A hydrogen vehicle is a vehicle that uses hydrogen to move it. Hydrogen vehicles include some road vehicles, rail vehicles, space rockets, forklifts, ships and aircraft. Motive power is generated by converting the chemical energy of hydrogen to mechanical energy, either by reacting hydrogen with oxygen in a fuel cell to power electric motors or, less commonly, by hydrogen internal combustion.

A fuel cell vehicle (FCV) or fuel cell electric vehicle (FCEV) is an electric vehicle that uses a fuel cell, sometimes in combination with a small battery or supercapacitor, to power its onboard electric motor. Fuel cells in vehicles generate electricity generally using oxygen from the air and compressed hydrogen. Most fuel cell vehicles are classified as zero-emissions vehicles. As compared with internal combustion vehicles, hydrogen vehicles centralize pollutants at the site of the hydrogen production, where hydrogen is typically derived from reformed natural gas. Transporting and storing hydrogen may also create pollutants. Fuel cells have been used in various kinds of vehicles including forklifts, especially in indoor applications where their clean emissions are important to air quality, and in space applications. Fuel cells are being developed and tested in trucks, buses, boats, ships, motorcycles and bicycles, among other kinds of vehicles.
