Elemental Trucks
The Future of Sustainable Heavy Freight Logistics. Hydrogen fuel cell and battery-electric solutions for Zero-Emission trucking operations.
Powerful sustainable solutions without compromising performance on Payload and Uptime.
Class 8 Tractor – Zero Emission FCEV or BEV – 63.5t / 140,000lbs GCW – 800+ km range (FCEV) – 500kW charging power (BEV) – Cold-start
Vocational Truck – Zero Emission FCEV – 10- or 12-wheeler – Refuse truck, roll off, dump truck, snow-plow, concrete-mixer – 500+ km range
Zero-Emission Heavy-Duty Trucks are set to become the largest contributor to road transportation CO2 emissions. Charging infrastructure is not viable for large trucking fleets. Current solutions lack the power and payload to handle heavy freight.
