GAUSSIN unveils its range of zero-emission road trucks designed by Pininfarina

Comunicato Stampa disponibile solo in lingua originale. 

  • The H2 RACING TRUCK® is the first vehicle in GAUSSIN’s range of zero-emission, 100% hydrogen and electric road trucks
  • Pininfarina designed the H2 RACING TRUCK® as part of its engagement with #gaussin for its new line of road trucks

GAUSSIN (ALGAU - FR0013495298), a pioneer in the clean and intelligent transport of goods and people, presents the H2 RACING TRUCK®, the most powerful 100% hydrogen and electric racing #truck ever built. The #gaussin H2 RACING TRUCK® will compete in the World Rally-Raid Championship with the 2022 Dakar Rally in Saudi Arabia as its first stage. 

The H2 RACING TRUCK® incorporates high-performance #design to withstand extreme environments, and it is intended to demonstrate the performance and reliability of the hydrogen-electric motorization developed by #gaussin. The data and information collected during the 2022 Dakar Rally will be used to further develop GAUSSIN’s range of road trucks scheduled for launch from 2022. 

The H2 RACING TRUCK®, the first 100% hydrogen and electric powered racing #truck. 

An immediate ecological imperative

"On January 12 in NEOM, Saudi Arabia, the Dakar organization presented its "Dakar Future" energy transition program, which aims to make the Dakar 100% "green" by 2030. The climate outlook announced by scientists is indeed alarming. We are the first generation to feel the effects of climate change and the last generation to act. By entering the first 100% hydrogen and electric #truck in the Dakar, #gaussin intends to demonstrate the reliability and performance of its hydrogen road range in

a difficult environment. New technologies based on renewable energies are available and mature and should help accelerate the energy transition. For the #gaussin Group and its partners, this project, which has now become a reality, represents a technological achievement and the fruit of years of work and experience in zero-emission mobility ", declared Christophe #gaussin, CEO of #gaussin. 

"We are delighted that #gaussin, a pioneer and visionary company in the transport market, is taking part in the Dakar Future initiative with a 100% hydrogen #truck. By competing in the Dakar, #gaussin is laying the foundation stone for the energy transition we all want to see, and the Dakar is the ideal open-air laboratory for manufacturers", said Yann Le Moenner, CEO of Amaury Sport Organisation. 

GAUSSIN unveils its range of zero-emission road trucks designed by PININFARINA

The H2 RACING TRUCK® is the first model in the new range of GAUSSIN’s zero-emission, 100% hydrogen and electric road trucks that will be launched from 2022. Unlike the solutions currently available on the market, GAUSSIN’s hydrogen system has been developed for an ultra-light chassis designed around the hydrogen and electric powertrain, based on the modular skateboard launched last April by #gaussin (see April 27, 2021 press release). 

  • The skateboard is available in a long-distance hydrogen version with a hydrogen refueling time of less than 20 minutes for 800 km of autonomy and in an all-electric version for short distances with a battery change time of 3 minutes for 400 km of autonomy. 
  • The #design of the range has been entrusted to the iconic Italian company Its team has created a whole range of dramatic, exciting trucks forming a harmonious overall family. 

Pininfarina Chief Creative Officer, Kevin Rice sums it up perfectly: "We made sure the #design faithfully represents the group's values and roots: reliability,   performance and robustness, "Be faster… Safer & Cleaner". This defines GAUSSIN’s new signature which is shared across all the vehicles in the range".
