Hyundai Motor Co. said it would expand its fuel cell truck sales efforts to the U.S. and China and significantly increase production over the coming year.
The South Korean manufacturer launched a heavy-duty fuel cell truck venture in Switzerland last month using a vehicle it calls the XCIENT Fuel Cell. The first seven of 1,600 trucks are now transporting freight on Swiss roads for several European retailers.
The company said Oct. 7 that it now plans a one-year demonstration project with a U.S. company, but did not provide more details.
