Tevva Truck Clocks Up 350 Miles

WHILE Tevva’s focus remains on building and delivering its battery-electric 7.5t vehicle, testing and development of its hydrogen-electric counterpart is continuing apace.
A ‘range test’ of Tevva’s dual-energy prototype truck accumulated more than 1,000km (approximately 620 miles) in the 7.5t hydrogen-electric vehicle, driving between Tevva’s London HQ and the Scottish border at Berwick-on-Tweed.
The return journey saw the truck cover almost 350 miles alone, without needing a single stop for recharging. This was made possible by the truck’s hydrogen fuel cell which tops up the range-extended (Rex) vehicle’s lithium battery when needed.
“The freezing conditions were challenging, but helpful too, in allowing us to gather important data about vehicle performance, and subsequent development,” said a Tevva spokesman.
