Take the low-emissions road at TruckShowX

The local manufacturer of Kenworth and DAF trucks will showcase its hydrogen fuel cell T680 Kenworth prime mover at TruckShowX, featuring a 470hp Toyota hydrogen fuel cell electric powertrain, with a claimed range of 560km and a 15-minute refuelling time.

Staged by Heavy Vehicle Industry Australia, TruckShowX is being held over May 13-14, 2024 at Cape Schanck, Victoria.

Also at the show will be an all-electric DAF LF, featuring a 260kW electric motor, powered by a 282kWh battery pack.

Both vehicles will take part in TruckShowX’s Drive Day program, during which attendees will have the chance to experience driving or riding in up to eight low- and zero-emissions vehicles.

“It is incredible to see the enthusiastic support that all facets of HVIA’s membership base have for decarbonisation initiatives and PACCAR’s initiatives are no exception,” said Adam Ritzinger, HVIA Chief Technical Officer and TruckShowX program manager.

“Giving TruckShowX attendees the opportunity to experience these vehicles is part of what the event is all about and we are thrilled to be able to showcase what may be coming in the future from our local manufacturers.”

A spin-off of the successful Brisbane Truck Show, TruckShowX will explore LZEVs and technologies, as well as the interconnected ‘ecosystem’ of equipment, infrastructure, services, regulations, policies and people that must be in place for them to work as a solution.

The two-day event will feature keynote presentations from global leaders in LZEV adoption, supported by practical case studies of local operators, who are leading the decarbonisation effort. Complementing this will be an expo, showcasing the latest LZEVs and related technologies.
