Accelera by Cummins has set a new Guinness World Record for the longest distance travelled by a hydrogen fuel cell electric (FCEV) heavy-duty truck without refuelling.

The H2Rescue truck, a Kenworth T370 prototype designed for emergency response missions, completed a 1,806-mile journey in California, the US, on a single fill last Friday (October 25).

The vehicle is powered by an Accelera fuel cell engine and a 250kW traction motor and consumes around 168kg of hydrogen whilst travelling between 50-55mph.
