Hyundai Motor has presented a first look at a render image of a new truck with a fuel cell powertrain which is set to be launched in 2019. After the ix35 Fuel Cell and the NEXO, Hyundai presents yet another milestone for its leadership in fuel cell technology with the presentation of the fuel cell electric truck.
The fuel cell electric truck boasts distinctive design which sets it apart from other Hyundai commercial vehicles. The truck aims at simple and clean design which is also aerodynamically efficient with a spoiler and side protector.
