Eyes on catching up in the electric transition race ahead of Tesla and Mercedes, IVECO intends to bridge its gap.
IVECO plans to produce and commercialize its own range of battery-electric tractors (BEV) and fuel-cell electric tractors (FCEV) as quickly as possible.
The key components of these vehicles—batteries and fuel cell systems—are supplied respectively by Protera and Bosch. These all-electric vehicles are built on the IVECO S-Way platform, specially redesigned to support both fuel cell and battery propulsion technologies, thanks to a modular architecture.
The IVECO BEV tractor offers a range of up to 500 km. It has a total battery capacity of 738 kWh (9 packs) with charging power reaching 350 kW. These unprecedented features enable it to undertake hub-to-hub delivery missions as well as a wide range of regional applications and even missions requiring greater autonomy with the possibility of charging during driver breaks. The 4×2 tractor configuration will be the first to enter the European market in the last quarter of 2023.
The IVECO FCEV tractor has a range of up to 800 km and its rapid refueling time of less than 20 minutes makes it an ideal solution for long-distance freight transport missions. It can carry 70 kg of hydrogen, stored at 700 bars of pressure. Thanks to its higher range compared to an electric vehicle, it will truly change the game in emission-free long-distance missions and for all tasks that involve sequential driving shifts.
The first units of the IVECO FCEV tractor will be delivered in France, Switzerland, and Germany by the end of 2023. Perhaps a somewhat ambitious goal, considering no vehicle has been spotted during testing so far.
