Daimler hydrogen fuel trucks rack up 225,000kmFriday 5 Sep 2025
The year-long trials in Germany reported diesel-like usability with 1000km-plus range and 10–15 minute refuelling using liquid hydrogen. Across the programme, there were 285 refuellings amounting to about 15 tonnes of liquid hydrogen at stations in Wörth am Rhein and Duisburg. Average consumption sat between 5.6–8kg/100km at gross combination weights of 16–34 tonnes. Michael Scheib, head of entire vehicle development at Mercedes-Benz Trucks, says the initial customer trials are helping with further development of the technology. “By deploying the GenH2 Trucks in real-world logistics operations, we have been able to demonstrate their performance, reliability and efficiency across various transport applications and gain important insights. “This enables us to refine the technology and vehicles according to the specific needs of our customers all the way to series production. Furthermore, the intensive use of the liquid hydrogen fuelling stations during the trials enables further optimisation of the refuelling process.
