Highlights

Zero Compromises for a Better Future

Hydrogen -
Proven Since
Time Began.

The XCIENT Fuel Cell is powered by a twin fuel cell system that runs on hydrogen. When hydrogen passes through a fuel cell system, it reacts with oxygen to generate electricity, producing only water as a by product.

Zero Emissions
Zero Tailpipe
Emissions

Hydrogen (H2) reacts with oxygen (O2) to generate electricity, producing only pure water (H2O) as a by product.

Range Confidence
Confident Range

The XCIENT Fuel Cell provides a driving range of approximately 450 miles per charge, with the potential for even longer distances depending on load and driving conditions.

* Driving range and charging times can vary depending on external factors.

Efficient Charging
Efficient Charging

Both 700 bar and high-flow 350 bar refueling offer greater flexibility. This allows you to spend less time refueling and more time on the road.

Extreme Weather Resilient
Extreme Weather Resilient

With fuel cell system engineered and tested for severe weather conditions, the XCIENT Fuel Cell maintains reliability and efficiency ensuring uninterrupted performance.

How XCIENT Fuel Cell’s Hydrogen System Works

Hydrogen Tank
Fuel Cell System
Battery
Motor
Hydrogen tank

The XCIENT Fuel Cell truck is equipped with ten high-pressure hydrogen tanks, securely mounted behind the cab. Capable of refueling at up to 700 bar, the tanks ensure fast turnaround times and supports extended driving range.

Fuel Cell System

Hydrogen flows from the tanks into the fuel cell system, where it reacts with oxygen to generate electricity for the vehicle’s operation.

Battery

Lithium-ion batteries store electricity generated by the fuel cell system. They feature lower memory sensitivity and excellent charging efficiency compared to conventional battery types.

Motor

A motor then converts the electricity produced in the fuel cell systems and stored in the high-volatage battery to kinetic energy. This energy sets driving axle in motion. Just like in hybrid and battery electric cars, a regenerative braking system moves electricity back to the battery when the driver uses the brake, improving fuel economy.

Tractor
Coupler
Extended work floor
Tralier Connectors

Placed at the rear for easy connection to the trailer, it complies with North American SAE standards

Aluminum Grip

Durable all-aluminum grips enhance usability and convenience.

Tractor Coupler

The air-actuated 5th wheel lock allows for easy locking and unlocking directly from the cabin. Its adjustable position helps optimize weight distribution across the front and rear axles.

Extended work floor

The extended work floor provides a convenient and stable platform for trailer hookups and hose connector inspections.

Blind-Spot Collision Warning-Near (BCW-Near)
Forward Collision Warning-Near (FCW-Near)

Smart Assistance for Safer, Smoother Driving

Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist (FCA)

FCA helps detect potential collisions with vehicles ahead and automatically applies brakes to prevent or mitigate the impact.

Lane Departure Warning (LDW)

LDW alerts driver when the vehicle drifts out of its lane without signaling.

Blind-Spot Collision Warning (BCW)

BCW is a driving safety function that warns drivers not to collide with rear-side vehicles.

Blind-Spot Collision Warning-Near (BCW-Near)

BCW-Near is a driving safety function that provides a warning if there is a risk of a collision with an obstacle approaching from the right blind spot (LHD reference).

Forward Collision Warning-Near(FCW-Near)

FCW-Near provides a warning on detecting the risk of forward collision with nearby objects in the blind-spot while driving at low speeds.

Smart Assistance for Safer, Smoother Driving

Smart Cruise Control (SCC)

SCC helps maintain distance from the vehicle ahead and drive at a speed set by the driver.

* Operation range: 5 mph ~ 61 mph (Power mode 65 mph)

Vehicle Dynamic Control (VDC)

In slippery conditions, VDC ensures optimal stability by detecting traction issues and managing torque output to each individual wheel to help maintain directional control.

Easy Hill Start System (EHS)

When stopped on an incline, EHS prevents inadvertent rollback by releasing the brakes only after applying pressure to the throttle pedal.

Deck View Monitor (DVM)

Equipped with an extra-wide-angle lens, the screen provides a real-time rear view video feed.

Air Suspension

Wider Visibility, Enhanced Efficiency

Improved Visibility

The cab-over design provides significant advantages, including enhanced forward visibility and reduced blind spots, making it easier to maneuver in tight spaces.

Weight-Distribution Display

This feature monitors cargo weight distribution across the front and rear axles, ensuring safer hauling.

Air Suspension

The front and rear axles feature an air-cushioned suspension, enhancing stability and ride comfort. It also allows for adjustable cargo bed height, making loading and unloading easier.
