MAN plans hydrogen truck deliveries from 2025

Commercial vehicle manufacturer MAN Truck & Bus will next year deliver its hydrogen combustion engined truck, the hTGX.

To begin with, around 200 units are set to be delivered to customers in Germany, the Netherlands, Norway, Iceland and selected non-European countries.

The MAN hTGX offers an alternative zero-emission drive variant for special applications, for example for transporting heavy goods – such as construction work, tank transport or timber transport.

The hTGX can also be an environmentally friendly alternative to battery-electric trucks for use in areas without sufficient charging infrastructure or for markets where sufficient hydrogen is already available.

The hTGX will initially be available in 6×2 and 6×4 configurations with a maximum range of 600km. The H45 engine produces 520hp and 2,500Nm of torque between 900 to 1,300rpm. Hydrogen will be stored in a 56kg tank at a pressure of 700 bar, offering refuelling times under 15 minutes.
