Daimler Truck and Munich-based Keyou GmbH plan to jointly offer hydrogen-powered internal combustion engines as a complementary and readily available propulsion solution for road freight transport. Vehicles equipped with this technology will be available starting in late 2027. Both companies are focusing on partnership rather than in-house development.
Mercedes-Benz sells the Actros L 1848 as a tractor unit, along with engines manufactured in Mannheim based on the existing 12.8-liter platform, to Keyou. The hydrogen conversion is then carried out there. The technical conversion of the trucks and the integration of the engine modified by Keyou are carried out by external service providers. The result is the Keyou Hice 40 tractor-trailer, designed for operation with a gross vehicle weight of 40 metric tons. The truck is expected to deliver up to 476 PS (350 kW) and be capable of traveling up to 650 kilometers on a single tank of fuel. (aum)
