Hyundai Introduces Mighty Electric Truck

The zero-emission Mighty electric will join Kona Electric, IONIQ 5 and the soon-to-arrive IONIQ 6 state-of-the art EVs, with expressions of interest to be coordinated through Hyundai Motor Company Australia (HMCA) directly.

A continuation of Hyundai's sustainable commercial vehicle momentum, Mighty electric follows on from XCIENT Fuel Cell, the brand's first-ever hydrogen-powered heavy truck, currently deployed in Switzerland and California.

Mighty electric has an estimated laden range of approximately 240km and is the ideal zero-emission workhorse for metropolitan and last-mile deliveries. Mighty electric's 120kW, 320Nm traction motor is powered by a 114.5kWh battery system with rapid charging capability - 10% to 100% in under 70 minutes.

This technology gives Mighty electric capabilities that perfectly complement those of the long-haul, heavy load XCIENT Fuel Cell prime mover, which HMCA is studying for a potential trial in Australia.

Mighty electric will help drive an expansion in emissions-free commercial transport options by demonstrating its driveability and everyday practicality, while helping to reduce the carbon footprint of transport and logistics operations in Australia.

Heavy vehicles make up only four percent of the national vehicle fleet, yet ICE heavy vehicles are responsible for 25 percent of all vehicle emissions in Australia. This means each Mighty electric will have a disproportionately large impact on total emissions reduction.

The arrival of this efficient and effective electric truck will mark another important step towards Hyundai Motor Company's global ambition to be carbon neutral in products and operations by 2045.

"We are excited to announce Mighty electric truck for Australia as a key step in driving growth in emissions-free commercial vehicles," Hyundai Motor Company Australia Chief Executive Officer, Ted Lee said. Mighty electric will bolster our growing EV line-up and underlines Hyundai's continuing commitment to developing sustainable mobility solutions".
