Based near Lake Constance, Gebrueder Weiss's 19t gvw box-bodied rigid (pictured) transports assorted packages to locations in Basel, Berne and a variety of other destinations. Grossing at 19 tonnes, it offers a payload capacity of just 6.5 tonnes when running solo. "The truck has a 400km range so it has to be refuelled, but that only takes 15 minutes," says Peter Waldenberger, head of corporate administrative support at operator Gebruder Weiss; he is responsible for the vehicle. It is one among a fleet of similar Hyundais currently in service in Switzerland in a trial backed by the South Korean manufacturer involving 20 operators, many of whom are running the trucks with trailers at 36 tonnes. Leading the programme is Hyundai Hydrogen Mobility (HHM), a joint venture between Hyundai Motor Company and Swiss company H2 Energy. |
