The companies have signed a letter of intent to facilitate operational testing of the truck for container transport within Metrans\u2019 European network.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are delighted to test MIP\u2019s new hydrogen-powered truck for our container transports,\u201d said Peter Kiss, CEO of the Metrans Group.<\/p>\n
\u201cThrough innovations like this, we can offer climate-friendly transport by road and rail, taking another step toward decarbonising European logistics chains.\u201d<\/p>\n
Eco-friendly<\/strong><\/p>\n The hydrogen truck boasts a 48kg tank, providing a range of at least 600 kilometres, significantly extending long-distance capabilities compared to electric alternatives.<\/p>\n Powered by hydrogen from renewable sources, the truck aligns with Metrans\u2019 goal to integrate eco-friendly technologies across its port operations and logistics networks.<\/p>\n Metrans\u2019 fleet already includes electric trucks, hybrid and electric locomotives and container gantry cranes.<\/p>\n By adding hydrogen-powered vehicles, it said it reinforces its role in the Clean Port & Logistics Cluster, in which HHLA and partner companies are jointly exploring the use of hydrogen-powered equipment in port logistics.<\/p>\n With technical backing from Ford and advanced components like the REFIRE fuel cell and Dana Sumo motor, the truck represents cutting-edge hydrogen power in European heavy-duty transport.<\/p>\n Metrans said that it will continue to set benchmarks in port operations and alternative fuels, striving for full climate neutrality across its operations by 2040.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Metrans has begun testing Slovakia\u2019s first hydrogen-powered truck in collaboration with technology firm Mobility & Innovation Production s.r.o.
