The Lightest Class-8 Hydrogen Fuel Cell Truck
Reinventing Zero-Emission Hydrogen-Powered Trucks for Drayage
In partnership with Savage, Symbio North America has developed a zero-emission hydrogen truck delivering exactly what drayage fleet needs: high-performance, operational flexibility, and no environmental impact.
The Lightest Class-8 Truck in Service: Zero Emissions, Zero Compromise
Converting a 4x2 diesel chassis to a truck bed fuel cell, Savage and Symbio delivered the lightest FCEV Class-8 truck weighing only 17, 000 lbs. The system features a total 150kW peak power multi‑StackPack™ architecture, designed for high load‑factor and 24/7 duty cycles common in drayage. Paired with FORVIA’s 70 MPa XL hydrogen storage tanks providing 34 kg of onboard hydrogen, the truck delivers full‑shift capability without mid‑shift refueling. The integrated system achieves:
- 17,000 lb. curb weight, enabling substantially higher payload than any ZEV alternative
- Diesel‑equivalent gradeability and performance
- Safe hydrogen refueling in under 15 minutes
- A compact and modular powertrain package supporting flexible fleet deployment.
