Project Objectives
The objective of this project is to develop a cost-optimized, high performance 63.5 tonne hydrogen electric truck that improves upon the cost/performance ratio of current Class 8 hydrogen fuel cell truck technology.
Expected Results
This project aims to:
- Drive R&D in hydrogen fuel cell integration within ETI and its Canadian suppliers, creating highly qualified personnel.
- Increase public acceptance of new technologies, such as hydrogen vehicles, through demonstration and media attention.
- Leverage hydrogen infrastructure hubs to support the development of a hydrogen trucking ecosystem.
- Expand zero-emission Class 8 truck options with Canadian content, supporting government ZEV targets and climate goals.
