Hyundai Motor Company and PlusAI's autonomous XCIENT Fuel Cell Class 8 heavy-duty truck has been named one of TIME's 'Best Inventions of 2025'. Hyundai's hydrogen fuel cell truck, developed with Plus, has made TIME's Best Inventions 2025 list. The Level 4 autonomous XCIENT truck points to a clean future for freight.
Hyundai Motor and PlusAI's XCIENT Fuel Cell Class 8 hydrogen-powered autonomous truck named one of TIME's 'Best Inventions of 2025' for revolutionizing long. The autonomous Xcient hydrogen electric truck was created through collaboration between Hyundai Motor and PlusAI, a U.S. commercial.
Hyundai partners with Plus AI to develop autonomous hydrogen-powered fuel cell trucks, aiming to build a scalable zero-emission freight network across the U.S., as showcased at ACT Expo 2025. Hyundai paired its hydrogen-powered XCIENT Fuel Cell truck with Plus's AI-based autonomous driving software, SuperDrive. Together, they propose a scalable, cost.
The truck is based on Hyundai's Xcient Fuel Cell platform, the world's first mass-produced hydrogen-powered heavy-duty truck. It is equipped with PlusAI's SuperDrive virtual driver, enabling Level 4 autonomous driving and zero tailpipe emissions. At the ACT Expo in Anaheim, California, Hyundai Motor Company presented the next-generation XCIENT Fuel Cell truck for the North American market and confirmed a partnership with autonomous driving company Plus.
The announcements form part of Hyundai's broader strategy to commercialise hydrogen. Awarded autonomous hydrogen truck project: the official statements "This recognition by TIME is a testament to the power of innovation and collaboration," said Chul Youn Park, Senior Vice President and Head of Global Commercial Vehicle and Light Commercial Vehicle Business Division at Hyundai Motor Company. The Hyundai Motor-PlusAI truck addresses these issues by combining hydrogen fuel cell propulsion, which offers a long range and fast refueling, with autonomous driving technology for continuous hub.
