Hytruck C18E

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.
