Data Sheet
GBV / TR Group
Fuel Cell Tractor.
A New Zealand-integrated 50-tonne fuel cell tractor offered through maintained lease and rental.
GBV integrates Toyota fuel cells, hydrogen storage, a battery, controls and an electric drivetrain into a DAF CF 85 6×4 tractor platform. TR Group publishes a 450–500 km range with 52 kg of onboard hydrogen.
The calculator default uses the lower end of the range, producing a conservative range-derived consumption of 11.56 kg/100 km.
The storage pressure and refuelling time have not been stated in the current public TR Group brochure and are therefore not assumed here.
