Hydrogen fuel cell versions
In 2020, Hyundai, in a joint venture with Swiss company H2 Energy, started mass manufacturing hydrogen fuel cell-powered 34-ton cargo trucks under the brand Xcient. The vehicles are able to travel {{convert|400|km}} on a full tank and they take 8 to 20 minutes to fill up.{{cite web|url=http://english.chosun.com/site/data/html_dir/2020/07/07/2020070701792.html|title=Hyundai Starts Mass Production of Hydrogen Trucks|publisher=Chosun Ilbo|access-date=2020-07-12}} In the case of Switzerland, a total of 1600 units is expected to be shipped by 2025. Currently, 46 units of the older model are sent, and 140 units of the new model will be shipped by 2021.{{Cite news|title=1.600 H2 Xcient trucks in Switzerland|work=[fuelcelltrucks]|url=https://fuelcelltrucks.eu/project/hyundai-1-600-h2-xcient-trucks-in-switzerland/|access-date=May 25, 2021}}
