Hydrogen Mobility
The XCIENT Fuel Cell, the world’s first commercialized hydrogen-powered heavy-duty truck, has demonstrated reliable performance under demanding real-world conditions in the Swiss Alps. Hyundai is now expanding its global efforts to further develop hydrogen-powered mobility in close collaboration with industry partners worldwide.
Fuel Cell Truck
Hydrogen (H2) reacts with oxygen (O2) to generate electricity, producing only water (H2O) as a byproduct during operation.
The XCIENT Fuel Cell provides a driving range of approximately 400 km per refueling, with the potential for even longer distances depending on the load and driving conditions.
* Driving range and charging times can vary depending on external factors.
The XCIENT Fuel Cell makes daily operation easier with its high refueling efficiency. With fast hydrogen refueling and electricity generation during driving, daily operation becomes fast, convenient, and simple.
Nearly 200 XCIENT Fuel Cell trucks in Europe have accumulated over 15 million kilometers in real-world operations, delivering reliable customer service.

Functional Features
The front and rear air suspension system absorbs road shocks and improves ride comfort, reducing driver fatigue and minimizing cargo damage.
Rear-axle steering is especially useful in tight spaces, reducing the turning radius and improving maneuverability.
* This feature is available on 6x2 models only.
The Axle Weight Display system monitors axle load and alerts the driver to overloads or imbalances, enhancing stability and reducing vehicle damage and maintenance costs.
The ECAS (Electronically Controlled Air Suspension) Switch provides the driver with convenient control over the vehicle's ride height and comfort settings.
This system replaces physical side mirrors with a digital display screen to provide rear and side visibility. It enhances direct visibility and minimizes both weight and external protrusions, which helps improve fuel economy.
* This optional feature will be available soon.
The XCIENT Fuel Cell supports ePTO* compatibility, enabling easy customization to suit a wide range of industry needs. This flexibility allows for tailored solutions that help customers optimize the vehicle for their specific applications.
* Electric Power Take-Off (ePTO) : Max. 100kW (optional).
* This feature will be available soon.
* The upfit example shown is for illustrative purposes only and is not currently compatible.

Designed for Safety.
Engineered for Intelligence.
The XCIENT Fuel Cell not only features an improved fuel cell system,
but also integrates multiple cutting-edge Advanced Driver Assistance System (ADAS) applications. It is fully compliant with General Safety Regulation (GSR) II Step B,
a comprehensive vehicle safety standard established by the European Union, enhancing both driving safety and comfort.
Smart Assistance for Safer, Smoother Driving
The XCIENT Fuel Cell is equipped with an Advanced Driver Assistance System (ADAS) that enhances both safety and driving comfort. Newly integrated features help reduce driver fatigue, ensuring a more relaxed and controlled driving experience.
BCW-Near is a driving safety feature that provides warnings when there is a risk of collision with cyclists or other objects approaching from the right-side blind spot.
BCW is a driving safety feature that warns the driver of vehicles in the rear blind spot when changing lanes, helping to prevent collisions.
DAW is a driving safety feature that continuously monitors the driver’s attention level on a scale from 0 to 5. When attention drops, it reminds the driver to take a break and stay aware of their surroundings. The system also alerts the driver when the vehicle ahead begins to move, enhancing overall driving safety.
DSW is a system that monitors the driver’s condition using an in-cabin camera. When dangerous signs such as fatigue, drowsiness, or distraction are detected, the system alerts the driver through the cluster display and audible warnings.
* optional
Smart Assistance for Safer, Smoother Driving.
HDA is a driving convenience feature that helps maintain a set distance and speed from the vehicle ahead while driving on a highway/ motorway main section and helps center the vehicle in the lane, cooperating with features like Lane Following Assist (LFA), Smart Cruise Control (SCC), Hands Off Detection (HOD), and so forth for enhanced safety and comfort.
* optional
FCA is a driving safety feature that helps prevent collisions with vehicles, pedestrians and cyclists ahead by warning the driver of sudden slowdowns or potential hazards through visual, audible, and steering wheel haptic alerts. If the risk increases, it automatically assists with braking.
ISLA is a driving safety feature that helps prevent the vehicle from exceeding the road’s speed limit. It uses the front camera to recognize speed limit signs and warns the driver of any violations or potentially hazardous conditions. When driving between 70–90 km/h with Smart Cruise Control activated, the system automatically adjusts the set speed by recognizing speed limit signs.
FCW-Near is a low-speed driving safety feature that warns the driver to potential collisions with objects in close proximity to the front of the vehicle.
Comprehensive Safety. Intelligent Protection.
Smart Regenerative System, a driving convenience feature, optimizes regenerative braking from brake force level 0 to level 4. It analyzes downhill gradients and forward traffic conditions to ensure optimal braking force and maximize energy recuperation for enhanced efficiency and control.
* This feature does not bring the vehicle to a complete stop.
EHS helps prevent the vehicle from rolling backward on slopes. When stopping and starting, EHS holds the main brake for about three seconds, and when rollback prevention conditions are satisfied, the EHS controller releases power to the wheels.
When wheel slippage is detected, VDC stabilizes the vehicle by automatically regulating the torque output and individually braking the wheels, thus helping the driver maintain directional control and reducing the risk of a rollover.
Capable of detecting slippery road conditions and the loss of traction, EBD will vary the braking force applied to each individual wheel to help maintain directional stability.
Comprehensive Safety. Intelligent Protection.
Malicious actors are always at work, constantly probing systems for weaknesses. That’s why the XCIENT Fuel Cell is equipped with robust cybersecurity software to keep intruders at bay. Vehicle owners can rest assured that the vehicle software for the XCIENT Fuel Cell is regularly updated, with Over-The-Air (OTA) updates ensuring that hackers are kept out and the system remains secure.
HBA automatically adjusts high beam settings by detecting ambient light, including headlights from oncoming and preceding vehicles, and not only turns the high beams on or off but also dims the brightness in the direction of other vehicles to ensure the safety of all drivers on the road.
This system provides an interface for connecting an external alcohol detection module. When a compatible module is installed, the system can measure the driver’s alcohol level before engine start and prevent the vehicle from starting if alcohol is detected.
TPMS enhances driver convenience and vehicle safety by continuously monitoring air pressure in each tire. It provides real-time data via the instrument cluster, allowing quick identification of abnormalities to prevent accidents, reduce tire wear, and optimize fuel efficiency.
The cluster will start showing a ‘Vehicle On’ warning as a safety precaution whenever the driver leaves the driver’s seat when the vehicle remains on.
