FUTURE POSITIVE

MIGHTY Hydrogen

New Zealand's first light-duty hydrogen truck

New Zealand's first hydrogen powered light-duty truck has arrived.

The introduction of the Hyundai MIGHTY Fuel Cell hydrogen truck marks a significant milestone for our company as we advance towards a future of zero-emission transportation.

With models like the XCIENT, NEXO, and now the MIGHTY FCEV, Hyundai is leading the way in recognizing hydrogen's potential as an alternative energy source capable of replacing fossil fuels for a more sustainable future. The MIGHTY hydrogen truck showcases hydrogen's viability as a reliable and future-forward replacement for traditional diesel light-duty trucks, offering a longer range and shorter refueling times.

We will initially bring one MIGHTY fuel cell truck as an early evaluation vehicle. Over the coming 12 months, Hyundai New Zealand and some key customers will evaluate performance in the New Zealand environment, showcase the advantages of hydrogen, and gain important metrics for a future introduction into our range.

Why the MIGHTY Hydrogen for transport?

 Refueling time and range are important factors for the operation of trucks. Hydrogen is the best fuel for trucks as it ensures a short refueling time and allows long-distance driving, all while promoting the zero-emission solution. 

Easy Fueling

The MIGHTY Hydrogen can be charged within 5-10 minutes* per single charge.

*Based on 350 bar tank pressure and a commercial refueller
*May change depending on outer tank temperature

Long Range

The MIGHTY Hydrogen has a driving range of around 500 km per charge.

*Range is variable based on driving conditions

FCEV powertrain technology

 All eyes are on Hyundai’s fuel cell heavy duty truck running on the road based on its technological strength. The MIGHTY Hydrogen promises powerful driving on every road, just how trucks should be. 

Fuel Cell System

The core device enables an electrochemical reaction of hydrogen and oxygen to produce electric energy.


*Max. power 90kWh

High-Voltage Battery Pack

It supports the fuel cell system by storing or discharging electricity. The battery pack further allows recuperation during braking.


*Battery pack capacity 22 kWh
