It follows the full acquisition and sole ownership of its joint venture with Nikola, based in Ulm, Germany.

The Artic 4×2 configuration will be the first to enter the European market in the last quarter of 2023.

The IVECO HD FCEV boasts a range of up to 800km with a refueling time of under 20 minutes., It can accommodate 70kg of H2 usable energy at 700-bar pressure.

The first units of the IVECO HD FCEV will be delivered in France, Switzerland and Germany at end of 2023, as planned in the H2Haul European project co-financed by the Clean Hydrogen Partnership.

Both vehicles are produced in the manufacturing facility in Ulm, Iveco Group’s multi-brand site based in Germany. Vehicles will be marketed and assisted by the IVECO dealer network, which counts 254 dealers around Europe.
