hylane receives three S-eWay Fuel Cell tractor units from IVECO
hylane GmbH, a leading provider of sustainable and climate-friendly commercial vehicle mobility and a pioneer in the field of a usage-based rental model for hydrogen-powered commercial vehicles, has added three new IVECO S-eWay Fuel Cell tractor units to its H2 rental fleet, which already consists of around 100 vehicles. The fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEV) were handed over at the IVECO Experience Center in Ulm. Christian Sulser, CEO of Iveco Magirus AG, handed over the vehicles to Sara Schiffer, Managing Director of hylane.
The three IVECO S-eWAY Fuel Cells delivered to hylane are part of the small series produced in Ulm, which is now demonstrating the practicality and scalability of hydrogen-powered long-distance transport in real-life operations as part of the H2Haul project. The European H2Haul project is co-funded by the Clean Hydrogen Partnership and aims to demonstrate the high reliability of hydrogen-powered trucks as a viable and locally emission-free solution for European transport needs. The IVECO S-eWay Fuel Cell tractors units have a range of up to 800 kilometres and can be refuelled in less than 20 minutes. The installed hydrogen tanks hold up to 70 kilograms at 700 bar pressure and supply a fuel cell system with a total output of over 200 kW. The eAxle is powered by both the fuel cell system and two centrally mounted battery packs. The system output is 400 kW and the gross vehicle weight rating is 44 tonnes.
Cooperation with strong partners
In addition to the purchase of FCEV commercial vehicles, hylane and IVECO also cooperate in the area of service. hylane customers can have maintenance and repair work carried out at a number of selected and certified workshops in the IVECO service network. The fuel cell power module, the electric motors plus power electronics, and components of the hydrogen storage system for the vehicles are supplied by Bosch.
Christian Sulser, CEO of Iveco Magirus AG, said:
True to our multi-drive approach to decarbonizing road freight transport, we rely on all available technologies and fuels to offer our customers the most suitable drive system for their needs,
“With the delivery of three fuel cell electric IVECO S-eWay tractor units to hylane, we are clearly demonstrating our commitment to driving the future of local emission-free logistics in Europe.”
Sara Schiffer, Managing Director of hylane, underlines:
With the addition of the IVECO S-eWAY Fuel Cell tractor units to our fleet, we are further expanding the diversity of our vehicle range.
“The addition of these tractor units is an important step in meeting the strong demand from our customers for zero-emission vehicle solutions in long-distance transport. As one of the leading suppliers of zero-emission trucks in Germany, we are delighted to be able to take delivery of series-produced vehicles today. We see this early delivery as an expression of confidence in our work and an opportunity to actively shape the market launch of zero-emission commercial vehicles. By expanding our fleet, we are also strengthening our position as a leading partner for climate-friendly logistics solutions.”
