Christian Schwamberger, Managing Director of FES GmbH, comments: “The new FES fuel cell truck is an important step towards a greener future. We are thrilled to present this innovative vehicle to the public and make a significant contribution to the energy transition in the mobility industry. Our continuous development enables us to play an active role in shaping technological change. [...] A successful mobility transition requires a homogeneous mix of alternative drive types, and we believe that hydrogen is an essential part of this and a real alternative to the combustion engine, especially for freight transport.”
The presented truck with a gross vehicle weight rating of eighteen tons is a product ready for series production, which can be pre-ordered shortly and delivered from 2025. Depending on customer requirements, it is also possible to choose other configurations in terms of gross vehicle weight and superstructures.
Saxony's Minister President Michael Kretschmer emphasizes the importance of this innovation: “The presentation of the FES fuel cell truck is an outstanding example of the innovative strength and technical expertise in Saxony. Such projects are essential in order to position Saxony as a leader in modern vehicle development and at the same time make an important contribution to environmental protection.”
