Heavy hydrogen trucks get a massive push in Germany
🚛
Major industrial giants have teamed up in Germany to bring hydrogen-powered heavy trucks to regular roads much faster. 🏢
Companies like Daimler Truck, Volvo Group, and Toyota are joining forces alongside partners such as Bosch, Air Liquide, and TotalEnergies. They want to build a complete local network of refueling stations before foreign competitors take over the market. If you follow logistics news, you know that long-haul drivers currently face a severe shortage of hydrogen pumps, which makes zero-emission freight extremely difficult to scale. ⛽
Unlike earlier scattered efforts by individual brands that stalled due to high costs, this unified coalition pools shared tech and resources to outpace foreign rivals rushing into the clean-energy transport sector. 📈

BYD unveils the ETT 44 in Hannover
BYD just showed its new heavy truck at the IAA Transportation exhibition in Hannover. The 44-tonne ETT 44 is designed for long freight routes.
The vehicle packs a massive 651-kWh battery. That is roughly six times bigger than a standard electric car battery. It gives the truck a driving range of nearly 600 kilometers.
The system supports charging power of over 1.5 MW and delivers 1,000-hp peak power. Unlike passenger cars built for personal travel, this setup is designed entirely for heavy commercial freight.
