USA – At Advanced Clean Transportation (ACT) Expo 2024, held between 20-23 May at the Las Vegas Convention Center, Symbio of Fontaine, Isère, France presented a fuel cell electric truck – the result of a California state-funded truck project which began two years ago.
The truck displayed at the show was a ‘Freightliner Cascadia’ 6x2 tractor unit powered by Symbio’s 400-kW ‘StackPack’ fuel cell system. Developed for the “H2 Central Valley Express” project, the prototype fuel cell truck is intended to match the performance of a 15-litre diesel truck in regional haulage. Michelin, one of the primary shareholders of Symbio, supplied low-rolling resistance tyres for the project, designed to reduce the truck’s energy consumption.
