Configuration and technology

All previous Hyundai commercial vehicles were either based on Mitsubishi Fuso Truck and Bus Corporation models, or were based on Japanese design, like its predecessor, Trago. The Xcient was developed during 3 years at a cost of 200 billion Won. Compared to its predecessor, it features increased cabin space and modernized driver comfort equipment.[6]

At introduction, Hyundai offers two engine variants, a 10.1-liter (common-rail injection) diesel engine with 414 hp and a top-of-the-line 12.7-liter version with 520 hp.[6] The Xcient is available with engine powers ranging from 360 to 520 hp in Euro III and Euro IV variants, with a 12 or 16 speed dual-clutch transmission.[3] The Xcient offers a total interior volume of more than 1,000 liters for the 3.92 meter high roof version.

A level 3 autonomous version is in development by Hyundai.[7]

Hydrogen fuel cell versions

In 2020, Hyundai, in a joint venture with Swiss company H2 Energy, started mass manufacturing hydrogen fuel cell-powered 34-ton cargo trucks under the brand Xcient. The vehicles are able to travel 400 kilometres (250 mi) on a full tank and they take 8 to 20 minutes to fill up.[8]
