Hyundai is shaking up the heavy truck segment with the new Xcient, bringing the brand’s award-winning automotive design to a giant of the asphalt. Teasers reveal futuristic lines, LED headlights, and digital mirrors, promising high technology and aerodynamic efficiency. This marks a stark contrast to the segment’s typically pragmatic evolution.
Beyond its bold looks, the Xcient incorporates technologies for improved performance and safety, such as digital mirrors that reduce drag and boost efficiency. The cabin will also undergo a radical transformation, featuring a redesigned dashboard and advanced autonomous driving systems. It will still maintain its current versatility with various configurations.
Hyundai is also committed to sustainability, offering traditional diesel engines alongside a zero-emission version with a hydrogen fuel cell, providing a range of up to 400 km. This strategic move positions Hyundai at the forefront of innovation and sustainability in the commercial vehicle market, poised to revolutionize the cargo transport sector.
