The London-headquartered Tevva Motors is set to unveil its new 7.5 tonne hydrogen electric truck later today, which the firm has said has a range of 310 miles (499km), with a refuelling time of 5-10 minutes.

Tevva has said it will offer 24/7 support to its customers in addition to aiding them with access to sustainable and affordable hydrogen supplies.

Announced in April 2022, it is hoped the deployment of the new clean vehicle will contribute to the UK’s ambitions of reaching Net Zero by 2050, in addition to supporting the UK’s development of clean industry.

Asher Bennett, founder and CEO of Tevva, said,  “We are excited to launch our hydrogen electric HGV, creating a landmark moment for Tevva and UK manufacturing. We firmly believe that the post-fossil fuel future, which is quickly approaching, will see a new range of technologies and fuels take centre stage in the transport industry.

“By embracing hydrogen, we are futureproofing ourselves, our clients and the industries and communities they operate in.

“We also pride ourselves on the fact that our vehicles are safe, reliable and go the distance. Combined with our commitment to customer service, we believe that Tevva’s hydrogen electric truck will be a popular choice for fleet operators across the UK, Europe and eventually North America.

“I am extremely proud of the hard work the team at Tevva have put into this vehicle. We have reached this milestone by leveraging our years of experience designing, innovating and manufacturing dual-energy vehicles.”

H2 View understands the Canadian firm, Loop Energy have provided its T5050 Series fuel cell system to be utilised in the new Tevva vehicle.

Ben Nyland, President and CEO of Loop Energy, added, “We are extremely happy to provide our fuel cell system to power the revolutionary zero-emissions truck Tevva is bringing to market. Trucks like Tevva’s hydrogen-electric platform will be critical to achieving the emissions reduction targets necessary to address climate change.

“Their commitment to scale quickly reflects the sense of urgency with which the transportation industry needs to approach the deployment of zero-emission commercial vehicles.

“We believe the combination of Tevva’s proven range-extended platform with Loop Energy’s leading fuel cell system can be a key contributor to the decarbonisation of transportation in Europe and North America.”

The hydrogen-powered truck is set to be launched today (June 30) at the Road Transport Expo in Warwickshire, UK, alongside Tevva’s latest full battery HGV.
