MILAN/HANOVER (Reuters) -Italy’s Iveco showcased on Monday a prototype of the hydrogen powered eDaily large van it has developed with Hyundai Motor, the first tangible outcome of a wider partnership between the two manufacturers.
Iveco and South Korea’s Hyundai Motor in March signed a preliminary deal to explore cooperating on shared vehicle technology, joint sourcing and mutual supply.
In July, they said Iveco would equip its future hydrogen-powered buses in Europe with fuel-cell systems designed by Hyundai’s hydrogen mobility brand HTWO.
Iveco is open-minded with regard to further such cooperations, Chief Executive Gerrit Marx told Reuters at the IAA Transportation trade show in Hanover, citing the need to consolidate in light of the rapid change in the industry.
