Hytruck – other models: the collective page of the Dutch hydrogen truck conversions outside the named ranges, C12E, C16E and C18E, gross weight 11,990 to 19,000 kg, length 7,980 to 9,250 mm
This page gathers the Hytruck vehicles the register could not assign to a named range – the C12E, C16E and C18E, also listed under the full Hytruck designation. Hytruck is a Dutch company that converts trucks to hydrogen drive; as with other Dutch converters of this kind, existing chassis from established makers serve as the base for fuel-cell and hydrogen-tank systems.

The register lists here 6 versions with unladen weights from 7,240 to 10,715 kg, gross weights from 11,990 to 19,000 kg, lengths from 7,980 to 9,250 mm and widths from 2,480 to 2,550 mm.
Such conversions target urban and regional distribution transport, where range and refuelling time are meant to offer advantages over battery-electric trucks; they let fleet operators switch to zero-emission drive without procuring entirely new chassis.
On these conversions, the documentation of the rebuild and the approval of the hydrogen system, the condition of the tanks and fuel cell and their inspection intervals matter most, alongside, as with any distribution truck, the chassis, brakes and body; servicing runs through workshops specialising in hydrogen drivetrains.
With gross vehicle weights from 11,990 to 19,000 kg, these conversions sit at the boundary between EU class N2 (up to 12 t) and class N3 (over 12 t); their commercial use requires, depending on version, a category C or CE driving licence, a tachograph and compliance with driving and rest times. Unlike a battery-electric truck, the hydrogen fuel cell costs no payload to heavy traction batteries, but it adds the weight of the high-pressure hydrogen tanks instead.

What to check before buying
- Check the hour meter against the service records — a replaced instrument is the most common gap.
- Compare the data plate and chassis number with the papers.
- Check the weights in the papers against the figures here — attachments change them.
- Ask about parts availability for this build year — the running costs hang on it.
