Mercedes-Benz GenH2 hydrogen trucks trial with customer fleets

Daimler Truck has begun customer trials with five Mercedes-Benz GenH2 hydrogen fuel cell trucks being tested in real-life operations.

The five semi-trailer tractors will be used by customers in various long-haul applications throughout a year on specific routes in Germany.

This includes Amazon which will use the GenH2 truck in its logistics operations, Air Products for the transport of cylinder gases, Wiedmann & Winz for sea containers, Holcim for building materials logistics, and Vervaeke (the logistics company of Ineos) for PVC and vinyl transportation.

It marks the next development phase of the hydrogen-powered trucks which have been completing testing on track since 2021 followed by public road trials, with the trucks expected to be presented to customers from 2027.
