HOME Hydrogen Vehicles XCIENT Fuel Cell

Uncompromising
Performance
with
Zero CO2.

The heart of the XCIENT Fuel Cell is its
powerful fuel cell —
a twin array of 90 kW
stacks - that delivers 180 kW of pure,
clean power and a driving range
of 400 km
with improved durability.
XCIENT Fuel Cell requires less time to
recharge, you’ll be back up and
running in a
short time. And it‘s safe.
The hydrogen storage tanks have
multiple levels of protection to
safeguard
them against accidental crash and punctures.
And perhaps the most beautiful feature of all
is the fuel cell stack that
produces only a
single byproduct — pure H2O.

Ultimate
Eco-friendliness
Zero pollutants:
H2O only

Pressurized hydrogen gas passes
through the fuel cell membrane,
where it reacts with oxygen to
create a chemical reaction that
produces electricity and pure H20
as its byproducts. Generating zero
pollutants, XCIENT Fuel Cell is a
good news for our planet.

Extra
Green Miles
Over 400 km
in actual driving

XCIENT Fuel Cell’s driving range is
unrivaled among eco-friendly
trucks. You can drive confidently
all-day long knowing that XCIENT
Fuel Cell has been field-proven to
deliver over 400 km on a single charge.

Higher
Efficiency
Perfect for
any daily operation

XCIENT Fuel Cell makes daily
operation easier with its high
charging efficiency. Since charging
is done in short time and the stack
system generates electricity while
driving, refueling XCIENT Fuel Cell
is fast, convenient and simple.

Boldly leading
the way.

With its distinctive v-shaped grille, XCIENT
Fuel Cell can be recognized as
the new boss
on the road.
Every design detail packs a visual punch and
high functionality,
from the extra-wide LED
headlamps to the chrome-coated wheels.
Under the mesh-type V-shaped grille, the
fixed grille steps provide
the driver with a
secure foothold for service checks.
The lower aperture maximizes airflow over
the fuel cell stack for
improved cooling
performance.

Driving comfort rises
to the next level.

Cabin comfort and convenience approach
perfection in XCIENT Fuel Cell
as the layout
and execution build on various experiences
and accumulated know-how in commercial
vehicle design.
Every control is driver-oriented for minimal
effort and simple, intuitive operation.
In utility mode, you can enjoy multimedia
and HVAC functions
while minimizing fuel
consumption.

Multi-stage heating
& ventilated seat

This seat provides the perfect seating
position for all body types
and with minimal
effort as all seat controls are motorized.
The seat floats on a cushion of air that gently
smoothes out the
bumps and imperfections
of the roadway.

Technology

a new era.

Professional drivers who have logged
thousands of hours behind
the wheel of
XCIENT Fuel Cell are unanimous
in their high
praise for its quiet,
powerful performance
and the light but precise feel of its motor-
assisted
hydraulic steering system.
Fleet owners applaud the durability and the
low maintenance
requirements of the fuel
stack.
And to keep everyone safe, Advanced Driver
Assistance Systems such as Forward
Collision-Avoidance, Lane Departure
Warning System,
and
Smart Cruise Control
are quietly working behind the scenes to add
convenience and prevent mishaps.

Ready for work with
field-proven
efficiency
and durability.

With its short recharging time and field-
proven operation in Switzerland
where it has
boasted a range over 400 km on a single
charge,
XCIENT Fuel Cell has set the
standard for eco-friendly driving efficiency.
Its field-proven fuel stack is compact,
efficient, and more capable
than ever.
Its powerful 350 kW e-motor provides torque
delivery that matches
any diesel powerplant
in the comparable vehicle weight class.
The triple battery array that can store up to
72 kWh of energy assures stable
performance.
For uncompromising safety, hydrogen tanks
are wrapped in multiple layers of
carbon fiber
and have passed the 1.5 m drop, penetration,
fire, and burst pressure
tests to meet
stringent European standards.

Workability

Carry more per trip.
Suitable for any business.

The 4x2 model is a versatile all-rounder for
most applications,
but if you need extra
cargo capacity,
Hyundai offers the 6x2 model
equipped with a rear tag axle for added
flexibility
and a larger operating capacity.
You can select the model that perfectly fits
your business.
XCIENT Fuel Cell’s reinforced ladder-frame chassis with air suspension is
light but
retains all of the strength
and rigidity
required to transport the heaviest
loads and take on the most challenging road
conditions.
We also offer a digital cluster that displays
the cargo weight distribution
in real-time
and the trailer lamp switch, for greater
convenience and peace of mind.

Safety

Safer driving
with advanced technology.

XCIENT Fuel Cell makes no compromises in safety matters.
Active and passive safety systems provide comprehensive, all-around protection.
The new ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance Systems) is the driver‘s best friend
that works proactively to keep you out of trouble.
In case of a rollover or the detection of a trace amount of hydrogen due to a gas leak,
solenoid valves are automatically actuated, shutting off the hydrogen gas supply
from the storage tank,
thereby preventing secondary accidents.

Vehicle Dynamic Control (VDC)

On detecting wheel slippage, VDC stabilizes the vehicle by automatically regulating torque output and braking individual wheels, thus helping the driver maintain directional control and reducing the risk of a rollover.

Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist (FCA)

FCA automatically applies the brakes whenever it detects the risk of a collision with a pedestrian, vehicle, or cyclist.

Lane Departure Warning (LDW)

On detecting an unintentional lane departure, the system warns the driver by sending vibrations through the steering wheel.

Smart Cruise Control (SCC)

SCC maintains the speed preset by the driver and ensures that you are always a safe distance away from the vehicle ahead.

Easy Hill Start System (EHS)

EHS prevents the vehicle from rolling back when starting on steep slopes, providing safe and easy driving.

Improved crash safety

When the unavoidable does happen, power is automatically cut off to the high voltage cables, and the hydrogen tank is shut off to minimize the risk of electric shock and secondary events.

Join the movement.
Ride the hydrogen wave.

Why wait any longer?
XCIENT Fuel Cell provides an exemplary sustainable
mobility solution.
It delivers field-proven powerful performance, outstanding
reliability, and great
driving efficiency.
