Scania has unveiled a heavy-duty electric truck designed for long-distance transport, with a range of up to approximately 720 kilometers through additional battery packs and a new front-end design. In parallel, a group of companies in Germany announced a plan to expand the use of hydrogen fuel-cell trucks, reflecting the continuing competition between battery-electric and hydrogen pathways in heavy-duty transport.
Toyota and several industrial and energy companies are preparing to announce a new collaboration in Germany aimed at building a hydrogen ecosystem for heavy-duty trucks, as green ammonia import projects and vehicle trials expand in Europe and North America. However, the collaboration’s operational and economic details remain undisclosed, while battery-electric trucks remain a leading competitor.
