The commercial vehicle manufacturer Daimler Truck is receiving a grant of €226 million from the hydrogen IPCEI to build a small series of trucks with fuel cell drives. 100 tractor units are now to be developed, built and delivered to customers at the end of 2026. The vehicles are to be powered by liquid hydrogen; the drive system comes from cellcentric in Esslingen, a joint venture between Daimler Truck and Volvo.
