The German commercial vehicle manufacturer will deliver the small series, initially planned with around 200 units, to customers in Germany, the Netherlands, Norway, Iceland and selected non-European countries as early as 2025. It is the first European truck manufacturer to launch a small series with a hydrogen combustion engine, the company says.
The HTGX, as the new model is called, is particularly suitable for special applications, for example for transporting heavy goods – tanks, timber, or materials for construction work. It can also be an eco-friendly alternative to battery-electric trucks for use in areas without an adequate charging infrastructure, where sufficient hydrogen is already available. (ben) www.man. (ben)
