Spanish FCC Medio Ambiente and Irizar Group present the first hydrogen cell-powered electric chassis-platform for heavy urban service vehicles

Smart City Expo World Congress Barcelona is hosting the presentation of the innovative electric chassis-platform powered by a hybrid hydrogen cell and lithium-ion battery system, a technology that has not been available for urban service trucks in Spain until now.

FCC Medio Ambiente and the Irizar Group present H2TRUCK, the first hydrogen cell electric chassis-platform for heavy-duty Urban Services vehicles

The vehicle being presented, which can be seen in situ at FCC Medio Ambiente's stand D-185 at Tomorrow Mobility, is a 100% operational and functional prototype, which has been undergoing tests for months on real waste collection routes in various cities in Spain. The first application of the chassis has been carried out on a 21 m3 three-axle side-loading collector-compactor with a maximum permissible mass of 29 tonnes, with an ultra-low, forward cab of urban design and an all-electric propulsion and body drive system, which will perform the entire service in pure electric mode from the moment it leaves the vehicle fleet until it returns to it.
The vehicle has materialised through the H2TRUCK project, led by FCC Environment and developed with the Irizar Group with the participation of companies and academic and technological entities of great relevance in the automotive sector.
