The developers at Daimler Truck have based the GenH2 Truck on the characteristics of the conventional Mercedes-Benz Actros long-haul truck in terms of tractive effort, range and performance. As a result, the GenH2 Truck in its series-production variant is to offer a payload of 25 metric tons at a gross vehicle weight of 40 metric tons. Two special liquid hydrogen tanks and a particularly powerful fuel cell system will make this high payload and long range possible. They therefore form the heart of the GenH2 Truck. With a capacity of 80 kg (40 kg each), the two liquid hydrogen stainless steel tanks planned for the production version of the GenH2 Truck will feature a particularly high storage capacity for covering long distances. The stainless steel tank system consists of two tubes, one inside the other, which are connected and vacuum-insulated.
