Hyundai MIGHTY
Hydrogen.

By Mark Cain
17 September 2026

A light-duty fuel cell truck introduced for evaluation with New Zealand operators.

Hyundai New Zealand publishes a range of approximately 500 km, 5–10 minute refuelling, a 90 kW fuel cell system and a 22 kWh battery. The evaluation vehicle uses a refrigerated body so propulsion and auxiliary refrigeration demands can be assessed together.

Hyundai has not publicly stated the vehicle's usable hydrogen mass or measured hydrogen consumption. It is therefore excluded from calculator defaults until one of those values is confirmed.

Data Still Required

The most useful additions will be usable hydrogen capacity, measured kilograms per 100 km, gross vehicle mass, payload and the auxiliary refrigeration load. These should be added when Hyundai or an evaluation partner publishes them.
