Hyundai Construction Equipment says that its innovative HW155H hydrogen fuel-cell-powered, wheeled excavator is showing the industry how hydrogen could contribute to future carbon-free operation on construction sites. Digging and driving performance is said to match that of conventional diesel-driven machines.
The firm is leading the field with its radical zero-emission solution and according to a company spokesperson, “This machine is not a prototype any more. It is production-ready. But the market is not ready for it yet.”
A highly innovative machine from Hyundai comes in the shape of its fuel cell-powered wheeled excavator. This is no mere prototype either and is being unveiled in pre-production form.
