Collaboration aims for autonomous hydrogen fuel-cell vehicles
Fully autonomous hydrogen fuel-cell powered vehicles are being developed in a collaboration between Hyzon Motors and Aidrivers.
The two companies are working on the design, manufacture and delivery of autonomous hydrogen-powered trucks, buses and coaches with an initial focus on port operations in the Asia-Pacific region.

According to Hyzon, the first trial of a fully autonomous hydrogen fuel-cell-powered truck is expected in 2021, with the first fleet of operational trucks set to be deployed in 2022.
London-based Aidrivers is already active in delivering artificial intelligence (AI) enabled autonomous mobility solutions to seaports, airports and logistic operations globally. The company’s Autonomous Intelligent Operating System (AIOS) is said to be equipped with precision 3D mapping and localisation to perform in busy environments. The operating system combines 3D perception with situation awareness to enable autonomous driving. Their Autonomous Intelligent Fleet Operator (AIFO) management system then provides operators with a live visualisation tool and predictive analytics for path planning and scheduling.
