The technology, which mixes hydrogen with oxygen to create electricity, propels a vehicle’s motors and emits only water vapor. Car companies say it has particular advantages for commercial trucks that travel long distances and need to refuel quickly, and they are trying to satisfy growing interest in alternative-fuel big rigs.
Toyota Motor Corp. TM -0.32% , General Motors Co. GM -2.74% and other car companies began experimenting with hydrogen-fuel cells decades ago. Trucking company U.S. Xpress Enterprises Inc. USX -5.08% has made reservations with Nikola and other companies to place orders for hydrogen-fuel trucks when production starts later this decade.
Daimler AG DMLRY -1.12% recently shifted its fuel-cell efforts from passenger cars to its truck lines, which include the Freightliner and Western Star brands in North America. The company in April joined forces with Swedish truck maker Volvo Group VOLV.B -1.05% to develop fuel cells for trucks and industrial applications.
“The bigger and heavier the truck, the more fuel cells seem to be the better solution,” said Yuval Steiman, Hyundai’s director of product strategy.
