Hyundai Motor Group's HTWO to Provide Fuel Cells for FAUN’s ENGINIUS Trucks

Hyundai Motor Group (the Group)’s dedicated fuel cell system brand HTWO has signed a partnership with ENGINIUS, a subsidiary of Germany's FAUN Group, to supply fuel cell systems for the mass production of hydrogen-powered commercial trucks. FAUN Group is a key player in the European refuse truck market.

Under this partnership, HTWO’s 90-kW fuel cell system will be paired with ENGINIUS chassis to provide zero-emission power for waste collection trucks and medium cargo trucks for intra-city goods delivery.

ENGINIUS is Europe’s first truck manufacturer with an EU-type approval for FCEVs.

The CITYPOWER medium cargo truck, which ENGINIUS unveiled at IAA Transportation 2022, will be equipped with HTWO’s fuel cell system for field testing in 2024 and series production is scheduled to start in 2025.

Taewon Lim, Executive Vice President of the Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Business Center at Hyundai Motor Group, says: “This strategic partnership with ENGINIUS marks yet another significant milestone in HTWO’s mission to free humanity from fossil fuel dependency in the commercial vehicle market. This is the first time we are supplying our fuel cell system to another OEM at a large scale. ENGINIUS’ initial fleet of more than 1,100 fuel cell trucks will represent a significant expansion of Hyundai’s fuel cell system business.”

Patrick Hermanspann, CEO of FAUN Group, adds: “I am very pleased that we have been able to partner with Hyundai Motor Group, a proven expert in the field of fuel cell technology.” 

Through this partnership, the two parties expect to collaborate further on eco-friendly drivetrain solutions for commercial vehicles in the mid- to long-term.
