AUGSBURG, Germany — Quantron plans to bring a fuel cell-powered Class 8 tractor to the North American market next year.

The first deliveries of Nikola’s hydrogen-fuel-cell-powered Class 8 truck are set to begin as early as late September, CEO Steve Girsky said Sept. 13.

If hydrogen fuel cell technology is going to become a desired and viable electric vehicle power source, the cost will have to come down.

Nikola Corp. has reached a deal to buy hydrogen from BayoTech to fuel the truck manufacturer’s Class 8 Tre fuel cell electric vehicles, it said.

Nikola’s latest bid to issue more shares and secure the funds needed to advance its Class 8 hydrogen fuel cell truck ambitions failed, it said July 6.

Toyota Motor Corp. and Hyundai Motor Co. have put their weight behind hydrogen fuel-cell vehicles, but dismal sales in 2022 suggest customers remain extremely wary.

Volvo Trucks has tested its fuel cell electric trucks on public roads for the first time, the company announced May 8.

ANAHEIM, Calif. — The rollout of zero-emission commercial vehicles and the infrastructure to support it is proceeding with added urgency.

Toyota is to begin offering Class 8 commercial truck manufacturers and operators a hydrogen-fueled powertrain in California later this year.

Two Nikola semis are to take part in a commercial vehicle demonstration program in the Canadian province of Alberta, the truck manufacturer said April 25.
