The truck will be operated by Arthur Welter Transports on behalf of Cargolux and has been adapted to meet air cargo requirements.
It has a range of 400 kilometres and will be refuelled on both ends of the journey as hydrogen fuelling facilities are scarce in the region.
Richard Forson, President and CEO of Cargolux, says, “Our companies have been working together for many years and this project reflects our shared ambition for the future of our industry. This initiative aims to showcase the opportunities that exist and prove that they can be adapted to a dynamic sector like air cargo.”
Viviane Welter, CEO of Arthur Welter Transports, adds, “Together we want to take the next step towards emission-free road transport and prove that this is already possible in air freight today. Although we are aware that we have to perform pioneering work in hydrogen mobility, we are confident that we can lead the way towards the energy transition in our sector.”
